September 3, 2024

Lane 8 pays homage to his fur-baby, Frau, grieving recent loss via Instagram.

Lane 8‘s recent post is a tear-jerker. After losing his 18-year-old furry friend recently, Lane 8 reminisces about his career and how his cat Frau was always there. He writes “I wrote a lot of my songs at the piano with her next to me curled up on her favorite chair, and so I think she lives on not only in our memories but also in the music I’ve made over the last 12 years.”

Furthermore, he adds “..across two countries, two kids, all the countless ups and downs of life. she was there through it all, holding us together through thick and thin… I’m thankful that she went so peacefully in Maria’s arms and that her suffering is over, even if it feels like ours is just beginning.” Artists like Nora en Pure, Dom Dolla, and many more expressed their love and support in the comments.
