Power Trip’s Riley Gale dies age 34

We here at Distorted Sound are devastated to report that POWER TRIP frontman Riley Gale has passed away.

Having taken the metal world by storm, most notably through 2017’s critically acclaimed Nightmare Logic, Gale‘s passing has left a massive void in the worldwide metal community. Riley was an extraordinarily charismatic, outspoken, and kind-hearted person who has touched lives around the globe both onstage and off, and we here at DS HQ are absolutely devastated by his passing.

In a statement about his passing, the band says, “dear POWER TRIP fans worldwide, it is with the greatest of sadness we must announce that our lead singer and brother Riley Gale passed away last night. Riley was a friend, a brother, a son. Riley was both a larger than life rock star and a humble and giving friend. He touched so many lives through his lyrics and through his huge heart. He treated everyone he met as a friend and he always took care of his friends. We will celebrate Riley‘s life and never forget the great works of music, charity, and love that he left behind.

You, the fans, meant so much to him, please know how special you are. If you have a memory of Riley please share it, no matter how small, as we remember him. Please respect our wishes for privacy during this time. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Dallas Hope Charities, the link to donate directly is here: https://www.dallashopecharities.org

Signed,
Riley‘s Loving Family

P.S. Funeral and visitation arrangements are pending”

RIP Riley Gale.

All of us at Distorted Sound send our deepest condolences to Riley’s friends, family, bandmates and fans
