:(
:( Chow Chow are awesome. :(
That's sad.
I'd never heard of them, but I like the songs on their myspace.
terrible news
he was a really good guy, met him through an old friend and was always good fun to be around. RIP
shit!
horrible news.
nme
are saying suspected heart attack
I don't like to point this out
but he is another one in the 27 club.
1980-2007
= 27 years.
Not if his birthday is after June 24th
Either way, this is really, really sad.
the date of his birth
is on the condolences page.
i know it's just a minor point, but...
a real shame.
hope his loved ones are doing alright.
Awful news!
This brought tears to my eyes. I wish his family and friends all the best!
