He has also been the vocalist and guitarist of Dundertåget and played his signaturinstrument in the band The Diamond Dogs.

The Hellacopters-friends tribute to his former guitarist on the band’s Facebook page. The tragic news takes hard after around ten years together, in the studio, in tour buses and in scenes facing lots of fans.

"It is incredibly difficult to describe in words what the String meant for us and how we would try so we can’t explain how much he made us. Our thoughts go out to all of the great memories we had together, and especially to his family. Until we meet again", writes bandvännerna and concludes with a heart-shaped emoji.
