Thievery Corporation collaborator commits suicide

Longtime Thievery Corporation collaborator Pam Bricker has committed suicide, reports Australian website Undercover.

A statement on the production duo's website confirms that jazz musician Bricker, who contributed vocals to both 1997's Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi and 2002's Richest Man In Babylon albums, died last month.

The statement reads:
"On Sunday, February 20th we lost our long time friend and collaborator Pam Bricker. Pam has been a Thievery Corporation mainstay, (both on tour and in the studio) contributing vocals on the first three Thievery Corporation albums, most notably on the epic Thievery track 'Lebanese Blonde'. Her class, easy-going nature, professionalism, and her distinct, beautiful voice will be eternally missed. Music fans from DC to Istanbul and everywhere in between mourn her loss, and we mourn with you. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Pam's name to Heifer International, an organisation that she supported".

Oh God...Pam was actually the mother of one of my best friends when I was a kid in the mid-90s in the US...I used to be always round at their house, etc...I hadn't been in regular contact with them recently but I still have a lot of memories, and some of her albums...what a shocker. RIP. No-one would do themselves a disservice by checking out some of her albums, or her work with Thievery Corporation...

That 1st album was amazing - I never knew who sang on it but Lebanese Blonde is still in my playlist now - peace out!
