Frontman Jon Bon Jovi revealed the news via social media. “We are heartbroken to hear the news of the passing of our dear friend Alec John Such,” read his statement. “He was an original. As a founding member of Bon Jovi, Alec was integral to the formation of the band. To be honest, we found our way to each other through him. He was a childhood friend and brought Richie [Sambora] to see us perform. Alec was always wild and full of life. Today those special memories bring a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. We’ll miss him dearly.”
