Too Close To Touch vocalist Keaton Pierce dies

R.I.P.

Keaton Pierce, lead vocalist of Kentucky rock/post-hardcore band Too Close To Touch has passed away. According to his bandmates, Pierce died "suddenly and unexpectedly, just a short time ago due to a medical condition he had been dealing with privately."

A statement from the band reads as follows:

To all of the people who's lives were positively affected by the music of Too Close To Touch. We wish we had a better way to break this news. Our friend and brother Keaton passed away suddenly and unexpectedly, just a short time ago due to a medical condition he had been dealing with privately.

We are shaken and saddened and speechless. We all relied on Keaton to put words to feelings like these and convey them in a way that was undeniably one of a kind.

Keaton lives on through these songs that we made together. He lives on through that feeling you get when you listen to them.

Suicide and/or vaccine injuries are taking out the rock musicians.

The f*cking vax took Betty White, DMX, Taylor Hawkins and now this guy. No, I will not get the shot

This is just the beginning. Hopefully food and rent prices will go down soon. Supply and demand.

" The f*cking vax took Betty White, DMX, Taylor Hawkins and now this guy. No, I will not get the shot" the dumbest shit I've ever heard. X was an addict, Betty white was ancient and all you can do with Hawkins and Pierce is speculate since they were fairly more private. Get the tin foil off your head and that Q d!ck out of your mouth and maybe start thinking for yourself you f-cking r3tard.

as stated earlier. the proper jab sequence prevents untimely missteps

I talk shit and eave bullshit humorous comments on LG. But I actually checked out this band because I saw some posts about his death and I'm actually into it. It's wild because I keep my ear to the ground on heavier music but I never heard of this band, never heard anyone mention them, never saw them on tours, never saw anyone wearing their merch, etc. And now as usual, someone died and everyone is sucking their dick. And so I decided to check out the band and I was like "damn this shit is really doing it for me, I haven't felt this way about new music in a while." Feels weird bro. RIP

The Lambgoat comment section is proof as to why Americans are considered third tier at best when it comes to the education level of its citizens.

Don't stand so, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me as you are not vaccinated and are Too Close to Touch

anonymous 3/26/2022 11:30:12 PM

"The f*cking vax took Betty White, DMX, Taylor Hawkins and now this guy." Almost sounds like actual CDC reporting lmao.

"And now as usual, someone died and everyone is sucking their dick" They were very popular when their first two albums came out in 2015-16. Spawned a more than a few clone bands and the albums were very well received. Then one of their guitarists left and everything they put out afterwards was pretty trash.. so they haven't been relevant for like 5 years.

anonymous 3/27/2022 12:04:01 AM

Fentanyl is why everyone's dying guys

anonymous 3/27/2022 1:51:10 AM

More than likely got the shot or had a drug problem.

anonymous 3/27/2022 3:58:50 AM

On his mum's Facebook page she posted back in December that he was in hospital with pancreatitis. Could be related to that. R.I.P to the dude, though. Such a shame

if you took the v@x you're F U C K E D: 100,000 excess deaths per month reported by insurance (40% increase) - highest death rate in insurance history 2021 - US military "all cause morbidity" up 1100% against the previous year 2021-2022 - athlete collapses up 123% against previous year, deaths up 85% against previous year what music venues have v@xx mandates?

I left the comment you were replying to, I was mad twisted and felt like spouting off about it anonymously. Last album they put out is pretty sick, just surprised I'd never heard of them. I'm made aware of plenty generic shit bands from this site/others

anonymous 3/27/2022 3:40:41 PM

Cousin Joe Black n blue and other DMS losers are behind the anti vax propaganda on here. These men are mentally ill with very little to no education of any kind. I guess this is also a smoke screen of sorts to distract from over 12 years of absolute garbage DMS music releases Im fully vaxxed pfizer. Havent even had so much of a cold in 3 years.

anonymous 3/27/2022 4:12:34 PM

Was he vaccinated

anonymous 3/27/2022 4:43:30 PM

What do fentanyl and the vax have in common? They are both Chinese-based weapons against the west. They're coming for us all. You better pray.

anonymous 3/27/2022 4:55:06 PM

^ god isn't real you puss.

anonymous 3/28/2022 3:28:08 AM

Nobody died of Covid19 ever. Everyone only dies of getting the vaccines. WAKE THE f*ck UP you dumb Americans. Americans are dumb. On the other hand, I am smart.

anonymous 3/29/2022 4:52:07 PM

anonymous 2 days ago What do fentanyl and the vax have in common? They are both Chinese-based weapons against the west. They're coming for us all. You better pray. Why are you spouting Q nonsense on a hardcore/metal website?

anonymous 3/31/2022 8:34:05 PM

It's the vaxx
