It is with great sadness that we tell the world of the passing of the incredible musician Isaiah "Ikey" Owens. He will be missed and loved forever by his family, friends, bandmates and fans. He will be missed and loved forever by his family, friends, bandmates and fans.

Ikey Owens was an astounding keyboard player in Jack White's backing band. He also played with Mars Volta, Free Moral Agents, and many other projects.

Out of respect for Ikey, the remaining shows of the Jack White Tour in Mexico have been cancelled.

We will all miss you Ikey. You were and are an incredible artist.

A poorly written sentence (without a source) at the end of his wikipedia page says he died of a drug overdose in his hotel room while on tour in mexico.

Shit. Part of what made Jack White shows so magical was the chemistry between him and all the band. In fact, the girlfriend and I talked about Ikey and Daru nearly as much as we talked about Jack after the show. He will be missed. :(

This is tragic. Let's wait on official news before speculating on wikipedia entries etc, shall we?

I specifically remember his stage presence with both Mars Volta and Jack. Shitty day. World lost an amazing musician.
