Colin Young Pays Tribute To Late HardLore Co-Host Bo Lueders: “I Will Love, Mourn, And Celebrate You Forever”

Twitching Tongues frontman Colin Young has honored his late HardLore co-host Bo Lueders following news of Lueders’ passing on April 2nd. Taking to social media, Young shared a heartfelt message reflecting on their years working together and the personal impact of Lueders’ life:

“Bo,
I am writing this in hopes that it reaches you in some way cosmically. I will love, mourn, and celebrate you forever.

This beautiful thing we built together was the greatest honor of my life, and my only solace is knowing that we documented a lifetime of memories, at first to share with the world, but now to look back on and preserve your warm, kind soul forever.

Say hey to Cayle [Sain] and Cliff Burton for us, and feel free to stop by and haunt me any time.

Every song is about you now.
Let’s do it all again in the next life.”

HardLore issued a statement earlier today, confirming Lueders’ death and requesting privacy during this difficult time:

“It is with heavy, broken hearts that we share that our beloved Bo Lueders has passed away.

He will be remembered for his unwavering empathy and compassion for his friends & family and his magnetic, inimitable presence on & off the stage.

We kindly ask for grace and privacy as we navigate this extremely difficult time.

For those struggling with depression or urges to self harm, help is always available. We’re not in this alone.

In addition to his work with Harm’s Way, Lueders reached broader audiences through the 2022 launch of HardLore, a podcast series co-hosted with Young. The show explored hardcore, metal, and rock culture through in-depth interviews and insightful discussion, cementing Lueders’ influence both on and off the stage.
