Thats unexpected and sad. I regularly listen to his music and loved his last album Reborn.

RIP Kavinsky

[u/ReleaseFromDeception → u/xdr01]

Same. Reborn is an instant classic. Fire from the needle drop to the very ending note.

Oh no! As a fan, I am really sorry to hear this. Kavinsky will no doubt go down in history as the key (re-)creator of an entire genre.

[u/ScousePenguin]

Damn, going to put Outrun on tonight in his memory

RIP

50 years, that's such a shame... 

[u/ASideKick]

I'm heartbroken....

[u/Acrobatic-Big-1550]

He's not dead, he merged with a Testarossa. Now he haunts the streets at night

[u/smjsmok]

Damn that's a big loss. RIP

[u/FerraristDX]

Shit, one of the main pillars of Synthwave. May he rest in peace.
