The Irish rock band took to Instagram to express their profound sadness, describing Dietz as their 'sixth member' and acknowledging his unwavering support since their inception. They highlighted his passion for fairness and his fearless beliefs, stating, 'We have never known Fontaines D.C. without him.' Tributes poured in from fellow musicians and industry figures, including the Irish rap trio Kneecap and fellow rockers Inhaler, who shared their condolences. Dietz was pivotal in the band's journey, having signed with them in 2016 before their debut album, Dogrel, which received a Mercury Prize nomination.
