Irony was the first thing that crossed my mind after learning the bands name.

[gigster]

Apparently, he took their name a bit too seriously.

[KarlInOhio]

I'll add brain hemorrhage to "bizarre gardening accident", "choked on [someone else's] vomit" and "spontaneous human combustion".

[Yo-Yo]

The drummers never last.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

[a fool in paradise]

I think the drummer from A Flock of Seagulls is available.

[JoeProBono]

[Regulator]

Good Career Move

He may have waited too long. Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison were all dead at 27.

Looks fairly clean in the photos.

Before people speculate if drugs were involved, and I'm not saying they weren't, keep in mind that a brain hemorrhage can strike anyone, a cruel medical condition that can cause an otherwise healthy young person to drop dead where they stand.

I’m sorry to hear that. Because it’s a tragedy, certainly. But also because that’s one of the most awesome band names I’ve ever heard.

[a fool in paradise]

What’s odd is that it appears to have happened at a gig. I don’t mean to make light of his passing and it appears to have been a health issue, not drug abuse or any of the other things that often take people at an early age.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Most musicians are highly-disciplined people.

Alice Cooper and Mick Jagger didn't last this long be being self-destructive.

[Badeye]

lol

[Constitution Day]

I guess they’ll have to change the name of the band now.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Was he drummed out of the band?

[a fool in paradise]

I Am The World Trade Center didn’t change their name after 9-11. But I haven’t heard much about them in the past 5 years.
