Former STATIC-X and current SOULFLY bassist Tony Campos (pictured) has released the following statement regarding the passing of ex-STATIC-X frontman Wayne Static:"I'm having a hard time finding the words to express how I feel right now, and it's taken me a long time to even try to write something. "I knew Wayne for 15 years. Some of the best times of my life were with him. I considered him a good friend. "It's sad the way our friendship ended, but even more sad that we never got to settle things between us. "Even though we were no longer friends the last five years, I held on to a sliver of hope that my old friend would come back. We were like family: Koichi Fukuda, Nick Oshiro, Erik Fincher, Bruce Reiter, Brandon Webster, Dinkus Maximus, Royal Jensen; we all just wanted our old friend back. Sadly, that'll never happen. "I feel so horrible for his parents and his brother and sisters. I can't even begin to imagine what they must be going through. My deepest condolences go out to them. All we can do now is remember the good times we all shared. "Rest in peace, Wayne."STATIC-X broke up for the second and final time in June 2013 after Wayne failed to reach an agreement with Campos about Static's continued use of the STATIC-X brand in connection with Wayne's solo band.Wayne relaunched STATIC-X in 2012 before with new bandmembers and had been paying Campos for the rights to use the STATIC-X name while on tour. STATIC-X's final CD, "Cult of Static", sold 19,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release in March 2009 to debut at position No. 16 on The Billboard 200 chart.
