[lpliveusername]

We have some sad news today. American DJ, musician, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer Pierce Fulton has passed away last Thursday evening, at 28 years old, following a struggle with mental health as revealed by his old brother Griff on Twitter.

 

The statement encourages fans and friends to send their condolences, photos, videos and recollections of Fulton to pierce@piercefulton.com. The family will be starting an organization in his honor soon.

 

As Linkin Park fans we're all too familiar with the pain of losing your idol, so we'd like to offer Pierce Fulton fans our condolences and ask Linkin Park fans to please lift up his fans on this difficult period.

 

Pierce Fulton made his name in the dance scene via house and progressive house productions. His single 'Runaway' topped Billboard's Emerging Artists chart and 'Kuaga (Lost Time)' was listed at number 38 on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart and used in a Smirnoff ad campaign. He released 3 studio albums, 4 EPs and numerous other singles. Additionally, he created remixes for the likes of Goldhouse, Steve Aoki, Usher and Felix Cartal.

 

In the Linkin Park community, he is known as one of the authors of 'Waiting For Tomorrow.' The single was originally written and recorded during the One More Light sessions in collaboration with Martin Garrix, Brad Delson and Mike Shinoda but was only released in late 2018 following numerous delays.

 

Different demo versions of the collaboration were first previewed by both Martin Garrix and Pierce Fulton during their sets starting in March 2016 and Fulton's version was passed around as a supposed leak of the song. It even received its own unauthorized lyric video from Garrix' former label! Listen below.

 

 

The official music video for 'Waiting For Tomorrow' was released on October 19, 2018 and stars Ihor Bliusovych and Mike Shinoda. The track hit number 26 on Billboard's Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
