Twitching Tongues vocalist Colin Young has taken to social media to issue the following tribute to his late HardLore co-host Bo Lueders:
“Bo,
I am writing this in hopes that it reaches you in some way cosmically. I will love, mourn, and celebrate you forever.
This beautiful thing we built together was the greatest honor of my life, and my only solace is knowing that we documented a lifetime of memories, at first to share with the world, but now to look back on and preserve your warm, kind soul forever.
Say hey to Cayle [Sain] and Cliff Burton for us, and feel free to stop by and haunt me any time.
Every song is about you now.
Let’s do it all again in the next life.”
Lueders‘ death was announced today, April 02nd, with the following statement being issued by HardLore on social media:
“It is with heavy, broken hearts that we share that our beloved Bo Lueders has passed away.
He will be remembered for his unwavering empathy and compassion for his friends & family and his magnetic, inimitable presence on & off the stage.
We kindly ask for grace and privacy as we navigate this extremely difficult time.
For those struggling with depression or urges to self harm, help is always available. We’re not in this alone.
Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: 988.”
While also a member of industrialized metalcore outfit Harm’s Way, Lueders managed to reach new audiences with the 2022 launch of the ‘HardLore‘ podcast series alongside Young. That successful series saw the pair explore various facets of hardcore, metal, rock, etc. culture with engaging interviews and more.
