I’m often asked the question, “what’s it like to be a twin?” and my response is usually, “what’s it like to NOT be a twin?"
Patrick went on to explain that being a twin is a big part of his identity and that he is struggling to envision the world without his brother.
"Being a twin is a very central part of my identity. It’s all I've known and I’m struggling to find the words to explain what it will be like for me to live in this world without him. my best friend," Patrick said. "In his honor, I will be releasing his album “Latch Relay” on a limited edition vinyl. It will be the first release on Plas Teg Records ( @plas.teg ), a label that will seek to fulfill his musical destiny that was so tragically cut short."
Patrick concluded the moving tribute with, "I love you, my best friend Adam. 1997-forever."
