Paul Jason Klein said he was hit by a car.
LANY is made up of Klein and guitarist Jake Clifford Goss. Keyboardist Les Priest left the band in 2022 — right before they released their album A Beautiful Blur.
Paul Jason Klein has been on tour over the past few months.
Klein later discussed what it has been like to lose a band member while chatting with HYPEBEAST in 2022.
"To be super honest, it hasn’t changed at all. We support Les and everything that he does, and obviously, he has given us his blessing to continue on in this band. The first album, we made it just the three of us in a kitchen on a Dell computer. Les was kind of our engineer, less of a traditional keyboardist. Over the next few albums, we began working with people who were older and wiser, and we learned from them. Really, the only thing that has changed was who was behind the computer," he said.
