(TeamRock Radio) Bif Naked has paid tribute to her guitar player Jacen 'JD' Ekstrom who has died following emergency heart surgery. Ekstrom, who also played bass for Bif Naked and fronted his own band Crashscene, was rushed to an operating room in Calgary, Canada, after developing an aortic dissection - a condition in which the body's main artery tears.

He was on surgery for 12 hours, with his chances of survival put at just 10%, but he later passed away in intensive care. Bif Naked says: "It is with overwhelming sorrow that I share the sad news, as we have lost our beloved JD Ekstrom.

"We give our hearts, our sincerity, our love, and condolences to his wife and partner, Jennifer, and his family, Jaelyn, James, and all of his wonderful friends. JD was a devoted husband and father, a loyal and loving friend to all, and had legendary generosity, humour, and warmth." Read more here.
