In Memoriam: Lucas Starr
Former Oh, Sleeper bassist Lucas Starr has passed away from colon cancer. He was 34 years old.
Starr was a member of Terminal before helping to found Oh, Sleeper in Fort Worth, Texas in 2005. The group originated with fellow Terminal members Ryan Conley and James Erwin, ex-Between the Buried and Me guitarist Shane Blay, and vocalist Micah Kinard.
Starr played on the band’s first two albums – When I Am God and Son of the Morning – before leaving in the process of recording 2011’s Children of Fire. He continued to work on music and music production through Royal Mercenaries. Oh, Sleeper, Terminal, and Honey Lotus performed a benefit show for the bassist on October 19th in Dallas.
