The former drummer of US heavy metal band Slipknot, Joey Jordison, has died at the age of 46.
In a statement, Jordison's family said he passed away peacefully in his sleep.
They did not reveal his cause of death, but said his passing had left them with "empty hearts and feelings of indescribable sorrow".
