Completely torn up about the news of Tyson Stevens' passing. Such an influential person. You will be truly missed. — Brian White (@BriBotAsd) October 22, 2014
Stevens' Gilbert, Arizona-based band Scary Kids Scaring Kids announced it was breaking up in 2009. The young musician had since joined Tuscon group Coma Prevail, which confirmed Stevens' death in a post on its Facebook page.
"Unfortunately the rumors are true. Out of respect for family we will post details soon. Thank you."
After the split of Scar Kids Scaring Kids, keyboardist Pouyan Afkary wrote the following statement on his blog:
"The reason we are ending the band is very simple. We created this band together as juniors in high school and though we've been able to grow together for many years, inevitably we have also grown apart. We've had some very serious difficulties over the years as a lot of you can probably relate to as well. Life throws us all something different and we've decided that the best thing for us personally is to end the band on a positive note and start new chapters in our individual lives. We don't want this thing that we've created to become the source of ultimate negativity and we'd rather remember the great times we've had together and move forward knowing we tried our best and had more good times than bad. Though we can't say for sure what all of our futures will hold, I can say for sure that a few of us will continue following our passion for creating music."
