Jack White has cancelled his tour dates in Mexico after the death of his keyboard player, Isaiah ‘Ikey’ Owens.
The singer cancelled two Mexican tour dates after announcing the news of the keyboard player’s passing via a statement on the official Jack White website.
The statement read: "It is with great sadness that we tell the world of the passing of the incredible musician Isaiah ‘Ikey’ Owens. He will be missed and loved forever by his family, friends, bandmates and fans.
"Out of respect for Ikey, the remaining shows of the Jack White Tour in Mexico have been cancelled. We will all miss you Ikey. You were and are an incredible artist."
The heartfelt post also praised Ikey for his involvement in Jack’s band but also for his other achievements.
