I said in the video he was 53. People close to him have confirmed he was actually 56. I corrected the thumbnail.

His tasteful drumming was an integral part of the Staind sound. RIP

I saw Staind last night at Sonic Temple fest in Columbus Ohio. John passed just as the band was ending their set. RIP John you are appreciated.

Thanks for having me on to talk about the great Jon Wysocki. R.I.P.

I played with him in a band locally here in Mass, just before his Staind days. He was an amazing person and such a great drummer.

his work on dysfunction particularly was amazing, especially the beginning of spleen. RIP, such a shock

We are losing way too many talented people from generation X. RIP John, you will be missed.

Massachusetts class of 87 girl here ...followed staind from the beginning... Lately I've been singing BETTER DAYS nonstop 😢. RIP Jon

He was a great dude and a hell of a drummer. I met him in Milwaukee WI in the early 2000s and he was such a down to Earth dude. Rest in peace brother

Been crying all day since I heard the news. Just can't believe he's gone man. He played a very intrical role in helping me develop my musical taste growing up. Especially when I was growing up in the late 90's & early 2000's Staind was huge & Break The Cycle was everywhere. I'll miss him, we'll all miss him. RIP Jon Wysocki 😢😢💔🤘🤘💯

I have a drumstick he tossed me after a Staind show. A prized possession. Thanks for the music & memories, RIP.

Oh man... He was one of people that inspired me to play drums when I was a kid. May he rest in power

We've lost too many good drummers.

A very under rated drummer with a unique and powerful style his drumming is fantastic on “Break The Cycle” Rest In Peace Jon 🙏

Dysfunction is one of the greatest albums of that era, imo. I always loved his drumming

oh my gosh. I was born the year Staind formed and they have meant so much to me my whole life. this is such sad news.

I was in music from 1994 to 2002ish, and a great-granparent was a Lewis from MD. Staind was super important to my development. RIP Jon.

Such a loss Staind like most of us was a huge part of my childhood and I finally saw Staind last week which was a bucket list of mine even though he hasn't been in the band in a long time his influence was still evident that night and he was a part of creating one of the best bands ever. RIP brother

I've been listening to Staind since 1999. RIP Jon. I will miss you!

*Gone too soon... but at least he is no longer suffering.* _"Until we meet again."_

John booked my band a long time ago. He also came to our shows , some time later. Solid dude who I'll miss.

I saw him play live many times....he was amazing!!! ❤

He is the first drummer that I noticed would actually wright his parts building on top of what the guitars were doing not just a 4 on the flour. Him and Mushok really influenced me as a young musician, Big time!

Dang... Not another great person lost from the world. He will truly be missed. Rest in peace, Wysocki

Another amazing drummer gone rip

No way...this hits hard man. Jon's drumming was, and still is, one of the focal points of my beginnings into playing music. Especially with my best friend (who I call my brother) was the first drummer I ever jammed with and learned the whole Break The Cycle album together. He will definitely be missed but also celebrated. RIP Jon. 🤘

Rest In ROCK, dear Jon. 🖤🕊

As a drummer around the same age as Jon that played in bands as well. This is terrible news. Gone way too soon. Life is short. Hold your loved ones tight.

I’m on the outside, and I’m looking in, I can see through you, see your true colors 🕊️ RIP

Corey from Lydia’s Castle here… Thabk you for covering and bringing the news to many who cared. However I must address the profound mistake the whole media has had on his age. He was 56.. We don’t know the initial incorrect source of his Birth year.. but can confirm his birth year was 1968. We are in touch with as many sources as possible to rectify the information. Much love and may he rest in piece ❤️

How sad ive always been a fan of staind. He was such a good drummer may he rest in peace 🙏 ❤

First! Very sad news, thank you for the update on this unfortunate news. He was a very talented drummer that gave them a distinct sound. Condolences 🙏🏾

Rest In Piece

I used to listen to Staind back in the early 2000’s and he was such a tight drummer. They came up with great songs. RIP.

A great tribute to Jon Rock Feed

Staind was the soundtrack of my child Listening to staind when I was a little kid and I still Listen to Staind Jon Wysocki, Aaron Lewis, Mike Mushock & Johnny April they made history in music Rest in Peace Jon

Wow, I'm from the same town as Jon, Westfield Mass. All growing up as a muscian, my teachers at school would always tell me how they had Jon Wysocki in their class and how he's a famous muscian now and all that. I have friends that are personal friends with Stained , I actually used to go to a lot of open mics with Arron's dad. What a bummer this is man, another one down, Western Mass is losing great muscians way too fast lately. RIP Jon.

This is so damn hard to take. Got into Staind at a very young age. Heard is his original stuff from loke Mudshovel and got so badass. The drumming is great and makes it sound great. R.I.P Wysocki

Oh man, Aaron Lewis' words can rip your heart right out. Damn, man, I got teared up on that one. RIP Jon Wysocki. My condolences to all loved ones: family, friends, fans, followers, whoever you are and wherever you are, my heart goes out to you.

Damn… Staind were are are still one of my all time favourite bands. Dysfunction and Break the cycle I grew up on. Two absolutely impeccable records. I loved all there records in fact but those two were incredible. So sad. RIP.

I’m gonna listen to nothing but staind this week at the gym! Rip Jon, part of my favorite band growing up and till this day.

I've been blessed enough to see him perform live 4 times. Once from just a few feet next to him. I've been to countless concerts, seen 60+ live bands, but this dude is for sure in the top 3 best drummers. He put everything into it, and had a great presence performing. Staind was one of the earlier bands that got me into hard rock, so sad to hear of his passing. Rock on brother, you're surrounded by many great talents now.

Rest Easy, Jon Wysocki!

Mudshuvel from the Tormented album is the best. Thank you Mr. Wysocki for everything. Music is life and you have sure made an imprint on my life. Thank you.😢

Im basically a nobody bedroom guitarist thats been invited out to play cover shows in Nashville with some cool people a couple of times, and Jon would a part of the fun. I only met him briefly, but he was always very kind and welcoming ❤ RIP

RIP Jon Wysocki, god dam, he really added to the sound of Staind. You won't be forgotten Jon

Meet him at my sister's wedding. Great guy Great drummer . Definitely will be missed by his Uncle John and Aunt Paula and family . Condolences to his sister Kara and family. RIP Jon.

RIP Jon, today is a sad day for all the people who burned It's been awhile, so far away, everything changes and many more in their cd player😢😢😢

The french teacher in my school lived down the road from him and actually jammed with him. Said he was a great guy.

I always thought that John from Staind and David from Korn are two completely under-rated drummers and two of the best drummers out there. the beats those two put on songs are not what ANYONE would ever think of. Johns creativity was so amazing. Several songs im like "anyone could put a 4/4 beat and make this song good, John makes it complicated but makes it sound amazing.

Grew up on Staind such a sad loss. RIP Jon Wysocki

Thank you for music and wasn't expecting it R.I.P Jon Wysocki

Oh wow! I was not ready for this! I remember as a teen in high school drumming along to Break the Cycle and thinking this dude had some amazing work the way he used his cymbals on the set unlike any drummer at that time period. Definitely learned a thing or 2 on the drums by listening to that album and 14 shades of grey. 😢

Saddened to hear this. Staind was an integral part of my life when Dysfunction/Break The Cycle came out. Thanks for all the memories Jon, RIP brother

Well fellas. Its time to drink and blast his music. Let us mourn in paradise. RIP.

😢 Stay strong Aaron and everyone who knew John.🕊️

John taught me some amazing rhythms for the drums. RIP John

Dude was a good drummer, definitely knows how to mix it up.

RIP to Jon fly high with the angels 👼🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍👼 Prayers and thoughts go out to his fam friends and fans xx So sad 😞 to think about. Comfort love & light sent out to all his loved ones etc… ✝️

He was one of my influences may he rest in peace

Mudshovel is my favorite from that album too - such sad news, glad he was surrounded by loved ones; may he rest in peace

Just saw Staind Friday night in Northfield Ohio. He was a great drummer, had some great drum parts during his time in Staind.

One of my fav drummers! Truly talented !! RIP brother!

Staind’s best records are with Jon on drums. Sad news to hear. RIP Jon.

That's just sad.. Condolences to his family ,friends & fans worldwide. Rest In Power💔🤘🏻

I just heard Its Been Awhile for the first time in a while. Sounded really good R.I.P. 🥁

R.I.P To The Great JON WYSOCKI. One of The Greatest Drummer's of All Time and Favorite Drummers as Well. I Loved Seeing him Beat Those Drums 🥁 on Staind's Home, Price To Play The Game, Fade, And So Many More. Rest In Peace My Friend 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I've had the pleasure of knowing this man most of my adult life. I was there in the beginning carry amps at geraldine's and multiple other Western Mass bars. We laughed loved and and lived . And for those of you who didn't have the opportunity to know him he was a kind-hearted soul. Never once did we have a discussion about his former bandmates that was anything less but a positive light. It was one of the coolest times of my entire life. Rest in peace my friend. Till we meet at the Mardi Gras again LOL

thank you for the great music and healing energy/therapy for so many

RIP to a legendary drummer. Gone to soon.

That album helped me on the times of my life when I wanted to end my life. It’s so sad I loved his drumming too rip my friend.

I still can’t believe it!!!! This is a great tribute video brother! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 I hope he’s in peace! my thoughts are with his family!!! If it weren’t for Stainds music and the ones who created it all, I don’t think I would have made it to 33. I’m forever thankful to Jon Wysocki!!!! R.I.P.

RIP . Break the cycle had major impact on my life Unreal man. My thoughts go out to his family and friends!

As a drummer who grew up on and listening to and influenced by, Damn RIP John! Your gonna be missed.

I first fell in love with his drumming when I heard the song Right Here on Chapter 5 it just captivated me for some reason ever since then he was one of my favorites R.I.P John thank you for all the music and good memories I have along with them 😢

So sad 😢 Stainds music helped get me thru some hard times in my teen years. RIP John

Very, very classy tribute ❤

Rest in Peace brother and thanks!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for all of the wonderful music Sir may you rest in peace

53?! that is absolutely tragic. rest in power, bro. 😔 love all the dudes from Staind.

I'm a big fan of Staind and I am heartbroken that John Wysocki has gone too soon 💔 😢 my thoughts and prayers goes out to the band, his friends and his family 🙏🙏

Rip to this man. SO MANY great records him and the boys created. Banger after banger.

Man, so many musicians have died this month. I have seen every single day 1 to 2 people have died in the music world.

Drumming world suffered a huge blow. RIP Jon.

Very nice tribute to Jon guys! Definitely part of my favourite Band from that era of rock. Another Man gone far too young…I know it’s how it is inside our Hard Rock scene but at my age (58) there sure are allot of young Men leaving too soon these days. Jon made a big impact, great Musician! ✌️

Pulled myself through a difficult time listening to Break the Cycle. Man, that brings back so many emotions. R.I.P, John.

Omg that shit is crazy RIP ., u was and will always be a legend ❤❤

🙏 Thank you for the music! 🙌 🎶 🎵

Sorry to hear. RIP Jon

R.I.P Brother, I love everything staind has done, of all the bands that came at thier time, Staind was and is my favorite.

Dang. 53 is too young. Stainds first two albums are masterful and he was a huge part of them.
