Veteran grindcore band Flesh Parade have announced the passing of their bassist Jorge Caicedo. A statement shared by the band’s guitarist Rene Perez this past Friday, January 16th, conveyed the sad news, it read as follows:
“It is with great sorrow and pain that we say goodbye to our friend, family and overall great person. Jorge Caicedo, our bass player, has passed away this morning with family by his side. We are devastated beyond belief. This past tour was bittersweet, but I’m glad I hung onto all the memories real tight. We all knew what we was struggling with, but kept his condition private. Watching him enjoy himself last year was a gift that I’m proud we were able to give him. I’ll leave you with this image of Jorge chatting with RJ from Luicidal/Suicidal. He was so happy. That smile is how I will remember him from now on. RIP brother, RENEPALM“
Caicedo was also a member of Hate Beyond, The Great Void and more.
