The agency didn't detail his injuries but said his death was being investigated as a homicide.
"They said it was a stabbing to the neck," Valdez's attorney, Nicholas Rosenberg, told the Los Angeles Times.
Suede signed to Atlantic Records in 2021, and released his most recent album "Parkside Baby" last September, the Times said.
