Guitarist Alexi Laiho deceased
One of the most renowned guitarists in the world, Alexi Laiho, has passed away. The musician, most notably known as the front man of Children of Bodom, died in his home in Helsinki, Finland, last week. Laiho had suffered from long-term health issues during his last years.
Alexi Laiho and drummer Jaska Raatikainen founded Children of Bodom in 1993, and the band was one of the most internationally acclaimed metal acts in Finland up until their very last farewell concert in December of 2019. Last year Alexi Laiho put together Bodom After Midnight, who recorded three songs and shot one music video, which will be released later on posthumously.
Besides Children of Bodom, Laiho was known for acts such as Warmen, Sinergy, Kylähullut and The Local Band. Awarded with a Metal Hammer Golden Gods and several other international prizes, the guitarist was also the main star, leading a group of one hundred guitar players at Helsinki Festival in 2015 in "100 Guitars From Hel" – a massive concert piece he composed.
"We are crushed by the sudden passing of our dear friend and band member. Words cannot describe this shock and the profound sadness that we feel", Daniel Freyberg, Mitja Toivonen and Waltteri Väyrynen from Bodom After Midnight state.
The talented guitarist and musician relished his roles as stepdad in his patchwork family, and as uncle and godfather. Especially during the last years, the important family ties brought a welcomed balance to his life and the active touring. Laiho was particularly close with his big sister, parents and his sister's daughter. Laiho's sister says:
"We are all absolutely shocked and devastated. We ask for privacy and understanding during these hard times. My little brother's funeral will take place privately."
Alexi Laiho will also be deeply missed by his family in Australia.
"Alexi was the most loving and magnificent husband and father. Our hearts are eternally broken", Kelli Wright-Laiho says.
The remaining members of Bodom After Midnight do not give any interviews at this time.

C'est avec Children Of Bodom que j'ai découvert et commencé à apprécier le Metal extrême. Je me rappelle encore de la baffe la première fois que j'ai entendu Lake Bodom, à une époque où je n'écoutais quasiment que du Neo.
À mes longues heures passées sur Diablo II avec en fond Warheart, Downfall, Hate Me, Bed Of Razors, Bodom After Midnight, Everytime I Die...
RIP l'artiste.

Oui, une pensée pour SAMM. Sauf erreur de ma part, il me semble qu'elle l'a interviewé il n'y a pas si longtemps.

Terrible nouvelle pour ce groupe et mes pensées vont a ses proches et à notre SAMM. Je pense que c’était un de mes premiers concerts de metal sur Paris en 98 ou 99 je sais plus trop au feu Club Dunois !

je m'apprêtais à venir ici vous remercier et vous dire que je vais mieux aujourd'hui, et je viens de lire le message de Daniel Freyberg et je suis à nouveau submergée :

“We'll play together until the grave.”

Your words to me not that long ago. I just never thought that the day would come this soon...It was an honour to play alongside you Alexi. You were one helluva talent, a legend who created magic and raised the bar to the next level.

I feel grateful and privileged that our paths crossed and we became friends and eventually ended up playing together. An adventure that gave me so much and will always stay in my memories.

It’s so devastating to write this because every time I try to type something I start crying... I know there won’t be a single day that goes by where I wouldn’t miss you. My heart goes out to your family and loved ones. Sleep well brother, see you on the other side
