Musician Ben Kweller revealed Tuesday that his teenage son son died<\/a> Monday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s no way that I can be typing this but I am\u2026. Our son, Dorian Zev Kweller, was killed last night,” Ben\u00a0wrote in a statement posted to Instagram. “He was only 16 and he was a true legend. Kindest, gentle soul, a friend to all. If you knew him, you know. We\u2019ll never get over him as long as we\u2019re here on earth.”<\/p>\n

Kweller didn\u2019t reveal how his son was killed, but Variety reported it was a car accident, citing a private social post by Kweller\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n

Kweller said his son wrote and recorded songs every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“A true poet from the day he started speaking. Only a few of his recordings were released but he was on a path and excited about his journey. He had so many plans!!!” he wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kweller said his son\u2019s first gig was supposed to be at the SXSW music festival<\/a> in two weeks in Austin, Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“My last text with him was about the merch he wanted to make,” he wrote. “My baby boy was at the starting line with so much life ahead of him…I have no idea why things like this happen. We\u2019re in complete shock and don\u2019t know what the future holds.<\/p>\n

“Lizzy, Judah, and I have no idea how to deal with this disaster,” he added, mentioning his wife and son. “Thank you for your prayers and support and we apologize if we are slow to respond to messages.”<\/p>\n

His post was flooded with comments, including from a number of celebrities<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lily Aldridge wrote<\/a>, “I\u2019m so very sorry. This is heartbreaking beyond comprehension. Sending you all love and prayers.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taylor Hanson left several broken heart emojis, saying, “beyond heartbreak. love you kwellers.”<\/p>\n

Pete Yorn said, “Omg Ben no words. Heart breaks. Can\u2019t even fathom this. Deepest condolences to you and your family,” and Michelle Branch called the news “heartbreaking.”<\/p>\n

Kweller has toured with Ed Sheeran<\/a> and has released six solo albums.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
