The lead singer of hit rap-metal band Dropout Kings has died at the age of 32, his heartbroken bandmates have confirmed. The band released a statement to announce the tragic death of their


"brother" Adam Ramey. The band wrote: "Life comes at you in ways you can never predict. The rollercoaster of chasing your dreams and building with your brothers and friends is


a joy few get to know… With the heaviest hearts, we share that our brother, Adam Ramey, has passed away. "His passion, energy, and love for music shaped Dropout Kings and touched


countless lives. Adam’s spirit, charisma, and energy will not only forever inspire us, but will push us into the future to be the best that we can." They signed off their Facebook post:


"Thank you for everything, Chip. Rest in power, Adam. We’ll always love you, fam." Adam was instrumental in forming the group in 2016. He song the lead vocals on their two


full-length albums titled AudioDope and Riot Music. Originally, the band's name was Phoenix Down. However, they changed it to Dropout Kings a year later. While no cause of death was


confirmed in the statement, a GoFundMe page set up by his brother-in-law following the sad news said the star had died by suicide. The description on the fundraiser, which was set up to help


support Adam's child and wife, read: "On May 19th, just five days before his 32nd birthday, we lost Adam Ramey—beloved husband, father, son, and lead vocalist of Dropout Kings—to


suicide after a long and painful battle with addiction. "Adam wasn’t just my brother-in-law. He was like a real brother to me. He saved my life during one of my darkest times and always


showed up for the people he loved. "He brought life and energy to every room, every family gathering, and every stage he stepped on. Watching him perform—especially at local shows in


Phoenix or when he came to Tampa—was unforgettable." It continued: "Adam loved deeply. He was a devoted husband to my 29-year-old sister, Jamie, and a proud father to their


18-month-old son, Jude. He was also an incredible uncle, friend, and human being. "Now Jamie is left grieving the love of her life while raising their baby boy alone. She’s facing not


only unimaginable heartbreak but also the financial weight of funeral expenses and legal costs." The fundraiser had set out to raise $30,000 to help Adam's wife and child. At the


time of writing, over $21,000 had been raised by almost 200 donators. It was said the funds would go towards funeral and memorial expenses, as well as immediate financial support and a


college fund for his son, Jude. Following the news of his death, fans took to social media to share messages of sorrow. On Twitter/X, one user wrote: "I am incredibly saddened to share


that Adam Ramey, vocalist of Dropout Kings, has tragically passed away. All the love for his family and band mates at this time." Another added: "Devastated to hear of the passing


of our good friend Adam Ramey. His band Dropout Kings sponsored Chris back in 2022. Adam was a close friend and someone I relied on heavily for business and music advice. He was one of the


smartest dudes I know and I truly can’t put into words how great of a guy he was. He was friends with everyone and truly one of the best networkers in the game. Rest easy Adam.. I love you


brother." _ *If you're struggling and need to talk, the Samaritans operate a free helpline open 24/7 on 116 123. Alternatively, you can email [email protected] or visit their site
