Kittie bassist Trish Doan dies

Kittie has disclosed the death of bass player Trish Doan. She was 31 years-old. The band has issued the following statement:

"It is with immeasurable sadness that we share news of the passing of our sister and best friend Trish Doan. Finding the right words is tough. She was so bright and vibrant and talented and we loved her and still do. She was so much more than just a musician or member of the band. She was our blood, our sister and family. Finding our way without her will be challenging, like a ship without a lighthouse, and we are devastated. We ask that you please respect our privacy and her family's privacy during this difficult time."

Doan served two separate stints in the band, originally from 2005 until 2007, then from 2012 through the present.
