Corey Taylor and Paul Gray were best friends and bandmates.
Corey Taylor, frontman of Slipknot, posted a tribute on his official Instagram to his late friend and bandmate Paul Gray on what would have been his 46th birthday.
The bassist was found dead in a hotel room after suffering a morphine overdose in May 2010. Last Sunday, the 8th, he would have celebrated his birthday.
In memory of his friend, Taylor shared a video where he appears playing the piano and wishing a happy birthday to #2, as he was known in Slipknot.
