Lil Peep Dies At 21

A wave of shock has cloaked the day with the announcement that rising emo rapper Lil Peep has died. The New York-raised singer celebrated his 21st birthday just last month. Lil Peep had a long history of anxiety and his music was a testament to his battles with depression, drug use and his sexuality. His highly anticipated debut album Come Over When You’re Sober dropped at the beginning of September and just a week before its release, the emerging star announced that he was bisexual. Lil Peep has gained a massive following since he began releasing mixtapes and EPs back in 2015 and was given the title of “the future of emo” by multiple publications. The rapper was currently touring the country with his last stop of the tour scheduled for tonight. He was found on his tour bus prior to last night’s show in Tuscon, AZ and it is rumored that he died from a Xanax overdose, though it has not yet been confirmed. Musicians around the world have reacted to the news of the young star’s death paying tribute to Lil Peep on social media in the hours following his death. Lil Peep was obviously very loved and will be missed by the music community. Read tweets from Marshmello, Diplo, Alison Wonderland and more below.
