Brody King shared the reason he will not be appearing on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. King was originally scheduled to be in a six-man tag match before being replaced by Bandido. King took to social media to explain that he will be attending a funeral.
“I promise I would much rather be at Dynamite than having to attend my friend’s funeral,” King wrote. “Thank you to Bandido for being the best partner and stepping up in my absence, and thank you to Tony for giving me the ability to be with my friends and family at this time. #Boluedersforver”
Powell’s POV: Bo Lueders, guitarist for the band Harm’s Way and co-host of the HardLore podcast, died at age 38 on April 2. The band announced his death on Instagram. The cause of death was not disclosed, but the band’s statement closed with the following message: “For those struggling with depression or urges to self-harm, help is always available. We’re not in this alone. Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: 988.” Danhausen also tweeted about Lueders’ death on his social media page, and CM Punk also acknowledged the band’s announcement. A GoFundMe fundraiser was launched to help Lueders’ mother and girlfriend with funeral and other expenses. My condolences to Lueders’ family, friends, and fans.
