With bandmate apl.de.ap still reeling from the murder of his half-brother, Joven Pineda Deala, 21, in the Philippines on Tuesday, the Black Eyed Peas are rallying around him.
"[We're] being there for him, just being his brother – Fergie, she's not his brother but a sister – and guiding him emotionally," will.i.am said Thursday night at the 5th Annual Black Eyed Peas Peapod Foundation Benefit Concert Presented by Adobe Youth Voices in L.A.
"It's tough, it's scary," added will.i.am, 33, noting that the band is "also providing moral support to him and his family."

Isaac Hayes was a kind and gentle man who left a huge mark before his death in Memphis on Sunday at age 65, his many celebrity friends tell PEOPLE.
"Isaac Hayes helped pave the way for so many artists like myself," says Ashanti, who sampled his song, "The Look Of Love," in her hit, "Rain on Me."
"I also had the honor of meeting him several times – he was always so sweet like an older uncle," she says.
"He was a warm, gentle soul," agrees his pal Richard Roundtree, who played the slick title character of the 1971 movie, Shaft, for which Hayes's movie theme song won both an Oscar and a Grammy.
