"Hey everybody, how's it going?"Pete Koller said in a video shared to Instagram per Loudersound.com."I know I haven't been around in a bit. I've been ... and you all know why. It's such a terrible, awful thing to happen. I'm still obviously super sad, and I am in total disbelief. I can't believe that this happened. I can't believe that my brother is gone, and I miss him very, very much.
"Also, I'd like to thank everybody and anybody who donated a dollar to whatever, who bought a shirt, who came to the benefits, who played the benefits, all that," he added. "Everybody who helped, I thank you very, very, very much."
Punk Band Will Continue Following Death of Frontman
After thanking fans for their support, Koller shared exciting plans for the band's future.
"Also, before Lou passed, he said a couple of things that he wanted us to do," he said. "He wanted us to keep the band going. I'm not sure how we're gonna do that, but we're working on it. And he wanted to tell everyone thank you for giving him such an amazing life. Touring the world, your job is playing your favorite music, stuff like that. Anyway, we have some things in the works. I will keep you all posted. And thanks again for the support."
