Dropout Kings Vocalist Adam Lee Ramey Dead at 32

Some incredibly sad news came out of the trap/nu metal outfit Dropout Kings camp overnight, as the band revealed that their vocalist and founding member Adam Lee Ramey passed away yesterday, May 19. He was just 32 years old.

The band posted a heartfelt tribute on their social media remembering Ramey. Having been with the band since its inception in 2016, he was featured on Dropout Kings’ two full-length efforts, 2018’s AudioDope and 2023’s Riot Music. In light of their loss, the band posted the following statement:

“Adam Lee Ramey
5.24.92 – 5.19.25

“Life comes at you in ways you can never predict. The rollercoaster of chasing your dreams and building with your brothers and friends is a joy few get to know in the most genuine sense and one we were beyond blessed to experience with one another as Dropout Kings. Even still, we cannot always expect things to go the way we dream nor can we understand just how special each moment with our friends and family are until those moments are memories. With the heaviest hearts, we share that our brother, Adam Ramey has passed away. His passion, energy, and love for music shaped Dropout Kings and touched countless lives. We’re devastated to say the least, but Adam’s spirit, charisma and energy will not only forever inspire us, but will push us into the future to be the best that we can. We appreciate you all during this time and know he absolutely did as well for all the times we’ve shared. Thank you for everything, Chip

“Rest in power, Adam. We’ll always love you fam????????”

Details surrounding his passing are scarce at this time, but once we learn more, we’ll be sure to pass along that information. In the meantime, we at MetalSucks want to extend our deepest condolences to Ramey’s friends, family, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.
