Fuckkkkkkk!! Rest In Peace Oli what a kind, cool and awesomely talented person! I’ll never forget he rode the Harry Potter rides w/ me when everyone else wouldn’t! I said you’re an actual wizard let’s do this and he agreed! He also helped write “I’m Ready” on Dee’s album. RIP pic.twitter.com/dUFXvYQ49Q

The world has lost one of the sweetest and most talented musicians I have ever known. Oli Herbert of All That Remains was always so kind and friendly every time you saw him and a literal wizard on the guitar. Such devastating news and such a sad and tragic loss. #RIPOli

Really shocked to learn of Oli Herbert passing away. AE and ATR toured together years ago and Oli always used to come out and see us play when we came through his area. The nicest guy. The metal community’s lost another great musician way too early. #RIPOliHerbert #AllThatRemains pic.twitter.com/B4CM5pKEbA

This is awful news. I had the pleasure of touring with him a couple times. He was really passionate about what he did. He was full of talent and always a pleasure to be around. My condolences go out to his family and his band. https://t.co/p07aZQGCc0
