Matt Roberts, former guitarist and founding member of 3 Doors Down, has died aged 38.
Roberts was travelling with his father, Darnell Roberts, and was due to play a benefit in West Bend, WI, when he was found in the hallway of his hotel on Saturday. A cause of death has not been confirmed.
"I was wakened at 8:50 this morning by some detectives beating on my door. It's always scary as a parent, they were in suits and that's when they told me. They asked me if Matt Roberts was your son, I said yes, and they said 'we have bad news to tell you, Matt deceased last night,'" Roberts' father told CNN.
3 Doors Down frontman, Brad Arnold, who founded the band with Roberts, posted the below on the band's Facebook page.
