The music world has sadly lost yet another talented being. Tyson Stevens of the band Scary Kids Scaring Kids, was found dead by his girlfriend the morning of October 21st. The cause of death is rumored to be from a drug overdose as Stevens had a past history of heroin addiction, but the official autopsy has yet to be revealed. Tyson Stevens left us at age 29, a young and talented musician and an amazing person who was loved and admired despite the darkness he kept from us. We’re all human, we all struggle, we all fall down, there is no shame in that. He will be missed by so many, but never forgotten. Rest in peace Tyson, we’ll see you again someday.
