Ric Flair’s stepson, Sebastian Kidder, an up-and-coming musician, has tragically died at the age of 24 after taking his own life, his mother Wendy Barlow confirmed to TMZ Sports, saying the family is heartbroken.
Kidder died after suffering a gunshot wound Saturday afternoon at the family home in Georgia. Police are currently investigating.
“I am devastated and shocked. This is an epidemic with your young boys. And mental health…” Barlow told us.
The circumstances leading up to Sebastian’s death are currently unclear.
In the last few months, Kidder’s music career was beginning to take off. In fact, this summer he appeared on FOX’s Good Day Atlanta … where he performed one of his songs, and talked about releasing his first album.
Flair has not yet addressed Sebastian’s death publicly … but the men had a relationship going back around 13 years, from the time SK was a boy.
Ric and Wendy married in 2018 (they recently decided to split) … but dated for years prior to tying the knot.
R.I.P., Sebastian.
