Please keep this in mind as you listen.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------He was a quiet prodigy—soft-spoken offstage, but a storm when his hands touched a guitar. From smoky clubs on the Sunset Strip to packed arenas around the world, his sound reshaped heavy metal and lifted a fallen icon back into the spotlight. In just a few short years, he left a mark that still burns today. But one reckless morning, a flight meant for thrills ended in fire and silence. His life was over at 25—but his ghost never left. This is the haunting story of a genius gone too soon.Written by Jonny HartwellVoiced by Jonny HartwellMusic Credit: Reel World Audio.A iHeart Radio ProductionJonny’s Dead Air PodcastWritten, hosted, and produced by Jonny Hartwell.A production of iHeartRadio Pittsburgh.Thanks for listening—and for keeping the light on.
