The deceased’s mother, Allison Clark, told reporters that Kevin’s newest band Jessie Bess and The Intentions had indeed only just played in their first show a few days before the tragedy. In her words, “He told his bandmates just yesterday: You know, this is finally the life I want to live. And we’re going to make it. You’re my musical family — my family — and we’re all going to make it… He loved music. He’s just a raw talent. He’s got a heart of gold.”
Friends and costars have since taken to social media to pay their last respect to the star who left the world too soon.
