Sebastian Kidder, the 24-year-old stepson of WWE’s Ric Flair, has reportedly died at the age of 24. His mother, Wendy Barlow, confirmed the tragic news TMZ Sports.

Sebastian was an emerging singer from Atlanta who had just released his first studio album titled “UNDER THE MOON”. He appeared on Good Day Atlanta to talk to him about it Kaitlyn Pratt at the beginning of summer.

“It’s a lot of pain, a lot of suffering, a lot of crying in the corner, just hoping that the words will come out. No, of course I’m joking,” Sebastian joked with Pratt when asked about the inspiration behind his debut project. “Probably the core of the album is very romantic. I would say romantic and lots of sexual energy.”

According to a TMZ report, Sebastian was found dead in his family home in Georgia. It is believed that he died by suicide.

In an interview with FOX 5 Atlanta, the star reflected on her upbringing, saying she started in the entertainment industry as a child actor at age 10 on The Walking Dead. He later started praising his mother for his success.

“I would say my mom was definitely a big inspiration,” he said. “She got me started and everything. She got this gig on The Walking Dead, so that was really big.”
