The pain we are feeling right now cannot be described in words, and we are still trying to figure it all out.”

We shared so many memories with Sean before the band even started, he was more than just our bandmate.

In the process, we made so many more memories and achieved so many things we only dreamed of that we will cherish forever.

Adding a string of broken heart emojis to his post, he wrote, “I love you so much, Sean”.

“So sorry to hear this, he was the nicest, sweetest guy to have around on tour.” the Wombats commented.

Our thoughts are with all of you and Sean’s closest friends. Lots of love and fond memories, The Bats x”
