Brent Hinds, ex-Mastodon band member, passes away at 51 in Atlanta motorcycle accident
Brent Hinds, a former guitarist and vocalist for the Grammy-winning heavy metal band Mastodon, tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident in Atlanta late Wednesday night. This devastating news has left his bandmates in a state of profound sorrow and mourning. Hinds, who was a co-founder of the highly acclaimed band based in Atlanta, was involved in a collision with a BMW SUV while riding his Harley Davidson on Boulevard SE. The driver of the BMW failed to yield while turning left, as reported by the Atlanta Police Department. Mastodon shared their grief in a statement, expressing their shock and heartache over the loss of a talented musician with whom they had shared many achievements and memories. The band's thoughts are with Hinds' family, friends, and fans during this difficult time. Despite Hinds' departure from Mastodon in March, the band had nominations for six Grammy Awards, winning in 2018 for best metal performance with "Sultan's Curse." The show must go on for Mastodon, who is set to perform at the Alaska State Fair, despite the tragic circumstances.
