After his death, Sarah Stennett, the chief executive of First Access Entertainment, a company that partnered with Peep in 2016, said in a statement to E! News, "I am shocked and heartbroken. I do not believe Peep wanted to die, this is so tragic. He had big goals and dreams for the future which he had shared with me, his team, his family and his friends. He was highly intelligent, hugely creative, massively charismatic, gentle and charming. He had huge ambition and his career was flourishing."
In August, Lil Peep released his first and only studio album, Come Over When You're Sober, Pt. 1.
His untimely death has drawn emotional reactions from his admirers, among them Pete Wentz, Post Malone and ex-girlfriend Bella Thorne, whom he was spotted kissing in September.
"F--k I don't know what to say," she tweeted upon hearing the sad news. "Peep you deserved more out of life. Life didn't do your greatness justice."
In an Instagram video, Thorne elaborated, "Anybody out there who is a Lil Peep fan, you guys know how talented he was. You guys know how great he was. Well, he was even more f--king great as a person."
RIP, Gus.
