UK Band Her’s Killed While Touring Debut Album

SANTA ANA, Calif. (CelebrityAccess) Stephen Fitzpatrick and Audun Laading, the duo known as Her’s, were killed in a car crash today while traveling to a show in Santa Ana, Calif.

The UK band’s tour manager, Trevor Engelbrekston, was also killed, according to a statement from record label Heist or Hit.

“Their energy, vibrancy and talent came to define our label,” Heist or Hit said in a statement. “As humans, they were warm, gentle and hilarious. Each time they stopped by the office made for an uplifting experience. To say they were close would be an underestimation of a friendship that was genuinely beautiful to witness; they loved one another like brothers.”

“Musically, Her’s were astonishing. An aptitude for melody, fun, and entertainment combined with a complexity that was as sophisticated as it was stylish. They were in America playing to thousands of adoring fans,” the statement continued. Fans they made a point of meeting and spending time with, such was their passion and humbleness. The world was at their feet. Everyone here at the label is overwhelmed and distraught. We have lost our friends and the world has been denied their talent.”

Her’s was on the second leg of its North American tour in support of debut album Invitation to Her’s.
