Gangs Of Old Ladies have issued this statement.
“GANGS OF OLD LADIES wish to offer their condolences to friends and family of their lead guitarist David Andersson. David was an intelligent, compassionate, wonderful person.
An amazing guitarist, doctor, philosopher and poet.
Working on a track called Inner Demons the band are giving notice that they currently hold the last music David wrote along with a poem for the upcoming track that David and vocalist Jekyll Jones had co-written whilst David was in hospital. Jones spent hours as David would be itching to share a funny science article he’d read or just needed to talk, and Jekyll Jones was one of the people who would always answer, listen without judgement and talk for hours.
The two shared an intimate bond with a love for science, philosophy, music, culture and quantum mechanics. David was the reason all members of the band joined Lucian Greaves Satanic Temple. David Andersson had dubbed himself the nickname “The mad Swede” in email threads with Gangs Of Old Ladies band members.
The upcoming track will be dedicated to David and the band are deeply saddened by the loss of such a beautiful, crazy, funny and quirky human being.
Inner Demons will be David Andersson’s swan song. The poem is testament to the way that Jekyll and David shared very similar views on the world. The band are yet to decide how they will move forward from this point but that they will continue as David’s passing gives even more depth to the material they are working on.
We love you friend and hope the absolute is all that we thought it was.
RIP David Andersson.”
