IKEY OWENS UPDATE

The coroner has determined that Ikey Owens died from a heart attack the morning of October 14th at approximately 4 am. The only drugs found in his room were a small amount of marijuana.

Ikey, born Isaiah Randolph Owens was a GRAMMY award winning artist best known for his work with Jack White, the Mars Volta, De Facto and Free Moral Agents, among others. He was a beloved member of the music community as well as his hometown of Long Beach, CA.

 

I think this would have been one of Ikey's last performances before they headed down to Mexico.

RIP Mr. Owens

Eddie Vedder had some kind words and did a bit of a tribute to Ikey during their show in Detroit last night.
