Trans-Siberian Orchestra founder Paul O’Neill has passed away at the age of 61. His death came as a result of “chronic illness”. R.I.P.
The band commented:
“The entire Trans-Siberian Orchestra family, past and present, is heartbroken to share the devastating news that Paul O’Neill has passed away from chronic illness.
He was our friend and our leader — a truly creative spirit and an altruistic soul. This is a profound and indescribable loss for us all.
We ask that you respect Paul’s family’s privacy now.We will make additional announcements shortly.”
