Divine Heresy - Former Bassist Joseph Payne Passed Away


Former Divine Heresy bassist Joseph "Joe" Payne has yesterday passed away, at the age of 35. Joseph, who was part of the band in years between 2007 and 2011, was also a member of Nile (2005 - 2007) and a couple of other bands.

Dino Cazares of Divine Heresy share the following statement: "Our Metal brother Joseph Payne has passed away. Another one gone way to young, he was 35 years old. I wasn't going to say anything until I got confirmation from his family, which I now did. At this time no cause of death has been revealed.

"Joe was a great friend, a great band member and an incredible musician. Although he played bass in Divine Heresy‬, he was an incredible guitarist. I first saw him playing bass in Nile and right then and there, I said, 'I want that guy in my band.' After having that first conversation that night, I realized he was a great dude and from there on, we've shared some amazing moments in life and on tour,from Australia to South America to Canada to Mexico to Europe etc.

"Joe was a very outgoing funny guy with a very friendly personality. He was loved by many and he loved all his fans and road friends. He never complained when times got tough on the road. He always helped everyone and worked his ass off when he was in DH and I admired him for being that way. We love you and we will miss you Rest In Peace my friend."
