Daniel Williams, the original drummer of metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada, has been confirmed dead following a fatal plane crash in San Diego on the morning of May 22. He was aboard a private Cessna 550 jet that went down in a residential military housing area near Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport.
The Devil Wears Prada reacted to the heartbreaking news: "no words. We owe you everything. Love you forever."
Williams, 39, posted an image to Instagram shortly before takeoff, seated in the cockpit and captioning the photo “co-pilot now,” a moment that now carries heartbreaking weight. The aircraft, registered to Daviator LLC—a company tied to well-known booking agent and Sound Talent Group co-founder Dave Shapiro—was returning from a cross-country trip that originated in Teterboro, New Jersey, with a fuel stop in Wichita, Kansas.
Dave Shapiro was also killed in the crash, which occurred around 3:45 a.m. and sparked a large fire that damaged several homes in the Murphy Canyon neighborhood. Despite the extensive damage, no residents on the ground were injured.
Sound Talent Group released a statement to Billboard, saying:
“We are devastated by the loss of our co-founder, colleagues and friends. Our hearts go out to their families and to everyone impacted by today’s tragedy. Thank you so much for respecting their privacy at this time.”
