Travis Barker — who worked with the late rapper on songs including 2020 tracks “Choose Life” and “Nothing Left” — was among those paying tribute on Instagram after news of his death emerged.

“Rest in peace you’ll never be forgotten,” the Blink-182 drummer wrote on his Instagram Stories alongside a broken heart emoji and a video of them performing Poorstacy’s 2020 song “Hills Have Eyes.”

Barker then posted a clip of their track “Choose Life.”

Through the years, Poorstacy — known for blending genres such as emo rap, hip hop, punk rock and heavy metal — frequently worked with Bring Me the Horizon frontman Oli Sykes, as well as featuring on the 2020 Bill & Ted Face the Music movie soundtrack, which earned a Grammy nomination the following year.

Sykes paid tribute to his close friend on his Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of the pair and writing, “R.I.P” with a black heart emoji.

Poorstacy last posted on Instagram in August, sharing three photos showing him sat in a car, with one image featuring a child. 

The rapper released his most recent song, “Nothing belongs to you.”, in July of this year. He also worked on the Paris Shadows track “Last Time Around,” which was released in October.
