FALLING IN REVERSE guitarist Derek Jones has died at the age of 35. His passing was confirmed by singer Ronnie Radke, who tweeted out four photos of Jones earlier today and included the following message: "I'll never forget when you picked me up from jail in your old tour van to start FALLING IN REVERSE. Your spirit will be interwoven through the music I write forever. Rest in peace Derek Jones. My heart is broken." Jones joined FALLING IN REVERSE in 2010 and appears on all four of the band's albums. Prior to hooking up with FALLING IN REVERSE, Jones was a member of hardcore act A SMILE FROM THE TRENCHES. Last November, Jones's fiancée, Christina Cetta, passed away after a battle with cancer. After Cetta's cancer returned in March 2019, Jones created a GoFundMe to raise $100,000 needed for her treatment. The band gave special shirts to fans who donated.
