Saliva, a hard rock band that Swinny founded and played guitar for, revealed his passing on Wednesday night. Saliva had earlier reported that Swinny had been discovered “in medical distress” on Tuesday morning.
The band posted on Facebook, “It is with great sadness that we report the passing of our brother Wayne Swinny.” “Wayne passed away this afternoon while we were on tour from a spontaneous brain hemorrhage.”
Swinny was hospitalized and given the diagnosis of having a “spontaneous hemorrhage in his brain,” according to a statement made on Tuesday by Swinny’s Saliva bandmates.
Swinny’s hospitalization location and other specifics were not made public. The band performed in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, according to the Saliva website.
A GoFundMe has been created to help generates funds for the family
The Saliva family is mourning the tragic loss of our brother Wayne Swinny. Wayne left us suddenly from a spontaneous brain hemorrhage on March 22, 2023. Wayne fought hard, but ultimately lost his battle. The one bright light is the fact that Wayne was an organ donor and was able to donate his liver and kidneys which saved 2 lives. Wayne leaves behind the love of his life; his beautiful 11-year-old daughter Nikki. Also, his sister Linda, his very tightly bonded Saliva family, countless friends, legions of musicians whom he inspired past and present, and millions of fans across the world. The pain and loss his loved ones are experiencing is incomprehensible. We are setting up a donation link to help cover Wayne’s expenses and to create a trust for his daughter Nikki. Wayne will miss Nikki’s graduations, dances, extracurricular events, marriage, children…milestones, highlights and those times she would have needed her father’s guidance and strength by her side. We hope to be able to provide her with some support as she begins her journey in life without him. Any donation is greatly appreciated, and as a thank you to donors, the band would like to send tokens of appreciation when certain benchmarks are met: $50 – Wayne guitar pick and VIP pass from Spring Mayhem Tour $100 – Baseball Collectors T-shirt, guitar pick and VIP pass from Spring Mayhem Tour $150 – Saliva Skateboard deck, guitar pick and VIP pass from Spring Mayhem Tour $200 – Baseball Collectors T-shirt, Skateboard, guitar pick and VIP pass from Spring Mayhem Tour Wayne’s sister Linda will receive all funds for his daughter.
- The Saliva family is overwhelmed by the amount of love we have received. Thank you all for the posts, calls, e-mails, texts, and prayers. They are greatly appreciated and helping everyone cope during this very trying time.
