It is with heavy hearts we announce our friend, fellow performer, and brother has passed beyond this mortal coil. Brian Baldwin, who toured & performed for years with FreakShow Deluxe as Raven Lunatic, was discovered unresponsive in his home by friends on Valentine’s Day. Raven did lots of pain-proof acts, and explored body suspension & modification. He was always quick with a smile & some good advice. After retiring from touring, Brian settled into body piercing - and invented a signature piercing called The Raven. He was working at Patriot Ink in Alabama and they are having a memorial for him on February 22, 2026. This is a sad day We share sympathies with his friends, family, and fans - he will be greatly missed.
