Paul Dedrick Gray (#2): 4/8/1972 - 5/24/2010

It saddens me beyond belief, to inform you all that another one of our Metal brothers has passed away. Paul Dedrick Gray from the Heavy Metal band Slipknot, was found dead today by a hotel worker at 10:50 AM in his in Urbandale hotel room. Paul will always be remembered as one of the most charismatic bass players in Heavy Metal and he leaves behind his wife Brenna, who is pregnant with their first child.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Paul's family, and his band members: Sid Wilson, Joey Jordison, Chris Fehn, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Shawn Crahan, Mick Thomson and Corey Taylor.

We will keep you updated accordingly.
