Nickelback On Their New Tour's "Flying Stage"
The death earlier this week of Thomas "Tommy" Marth, the Killers' saxophonist who played on live tours and on their albums Sam's Town and Day & Age, has been officially ruled a suicide by the Clark County Coroner, Reuters reports.
Marth, who was 33, was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, said officials in Clark County, Nev., where the band's hometown of Las Vegas is located.
The band took to Twitter to mourn the loss: "Last night we lost our friend Thomas Marth. Our prayers are with his family. There's a light missing in Las Vegas tonight. Travel well, Tommy."
The death comes as the Killers are preparing to return from a hiatus following the release of their last album, 2008's Day & Age. The band, fronted by singer Brandon Flowers, recently returned to the studio to work on their next album.
