Lil Peep, whose real name was Gustav Ahr, released his debut album, Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1, in August. He was 21 years old.
“I am shocked and heartbroken. I do not believe Peep wanted to die, this is so tragic," Sarah Stennett, CEO of First Access Entertainment, the company who partnered with Peep in early 2016, told ET in a statement on Thursday.
"He had big goals and dreams for the future which he had shared with me, his team, his family and his friends," she continued. "He was highly intelligent, hugely creative, massively charismatic, gentle and charming. He had huge ambition and his career was flourishing. I have spoken to his mother and she asked me to convey that she is very, very proud of him and everything he was able to achieve in his short life. She is truly grateful to the fans and the people who have supported and loved him."
