He continued, “This morning at 10:15 AM the world lost an incredible musician and a great friend Freddie Salem former Outlaws guitarist as well known session player throughout the world. (Freddie) passed away from complications of cancer.”

"About a year ago he came to me and told me he was sick and asked me not to say a word and I promised him I wouldn’t,” he penned recalling how the Evil For Evil hitmaker confided in him.

Zon further noted, “He opted not to do any treatments because it was liver cancer and he said there was really no cure or help. He didn’t want to do the treatment. He went out his way and he rocked the world along the way! That’s all I have to say right now. My heart is broken.”

"Thank you for always, including me and so many projects and believing in me. So many of you will be too. I’ll have more detail as it comes in about services after I speak with his son.
