Ex-Comeback Kid Bassist Matt Keil Passes Away

Former Comeback Kid bassist Matt Keil has sadly passed away. This news comes shortly after his family launched a GoFundMe amid his battle with ALS.

Comeback Kid said the following:

“It’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our longtime friend and previous bass player Matt Keil.

Matt played in CBK from 2008 – 2014 a time when we were really starting to tour internationally on a more global scale. He was such an amazing friend and musician. Just the greatest guy to tour with,be around, and explore the new countries in the world with.

We are sending our love to his wife Maddie and his 2 daughters and want to honour his memory for our all years to come. We love you Matt K.”

Keil’s widow Maddie also commented:

“It is with a shattered heart that I share that the love of my life and my very best friend passed away yesterday afternoon after a 19 month long battle with ALS.

We shared a harmonious marriage filled with laughter and joy. He was an amazing parent, my own personal comedian, and the very best partner.

I will miss you for the rest of my life. I love you forever.”
