Tributes Flow For I Killed The Prom Queen's Sean Kennedy Following Passing

Tributes are rolling in for I Killed The Prom Queen bassist Sean Kennedy following his passing this week. 

A cause of death is yet to be officially announced. 

The Amity Affliction's Ahren Stringer is among those paying tribute saying, "You were one of a kind @skdtd my brother my friend my confidant. My heart is broken you were so loved so real and just a true fucking legend. I’ll never forget you".

"I will always love you, Sean. With every fibre of my being x," said Agnes Manner's Matt Gravolin in a post to Instagram.  

I Killed The Prom Queen are yet to release an official statement, with vocalist Michael Crafter sharing a post to his own Instagram saying, "For years we stood side by side on stage or in band photos. We slept on floors, in vans, planes and some how managed to tour the world. 

"Time went way to fast. We experienced highs and lows on the road and after all we went through, you will always be my friend. As the years passed us by I’m glad we’ve always been there for each other."

Kennedy joined I Killed The Prom Queen in 2003 and remained with the group until their hiatus in 2008. Kennedy returned as a member when the band regrouped in 2011, announcing his departure in 2013. 

He featured on two of the band's most prominent albums - 2003's When Goodbye Means Forever and 2006's Music For The Recently Deceased, which saw the band land in the Top 30 on the ARIA Albums Chart. 

Kennedy was also a long-serving member of Deez Nuts, playing in the band from 2008-2009 and then again from 2014.
