"Dear Scott, Let us start by saying thank you for sharing your life with us," said the band. "Together we crafted a legacy of music that has given so many people happiness and great memories. The memories are many, and they run deep for us.

"We know amidst the good and the bad you struggled, time and time again. It's what made you who you were. You were gifted beyond words, Scott. Part of that gift was part of your curse.
