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

Sebastian was a singer from Atlanta who had just released his first studio album entitled “BENEATH THE MOON”. He made an appearance on Good Day Atlanta to talk about it Kaitlyn Pratt at the beginning of summer.

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

According to the TMZ report, Sebastian was found dead at the family’s home in Georgia. It is believed that he committed suicide.

In the interview with FOX 5 Atlanta, the star reminisced about growing up, saying that he got his start in the entertainment industry as a child actor at the age of 10 on “The Walking Dead.” He continued to credit his mother for his success.

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