Subject: Feeder Drummer Dead At 33 Author: genkinet [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:06:22 01/14/02 Mon Jon Lee 1968 - 2002 Jon Boy. We will miss you more than melody - friends always Love Grant and Taka Proper Jon Lee, drummer for the Brit-rock band Feeder, was found dead in at his home in Miami on Monday 7. He was 33. Lee hanged himself in his garage and was discovered by his wife, Brazilian (news - web sites) model Tatiana Englehart, according to a spokesperson for the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner's office. "We will miss him more than melody," Feeder frontman Grant Nicholas and bassist Taka Hirose said in a statement. "We're utterly devastated." Nicholas elaborated in an interview he gave to BBC Radio 1 on Wednesday, saying he "really can't understand why he chose to take his own life when he had so many things going for him in his life. Unfortunately, he has, and there's nothing I can do about that. I only wish I could." Feeder manager Matt Page said that the band will continue, though the remaining members will need some time before they set forth any plans. Nicholas told the BBC, "I feel Jon would have wanted us to carry on." Lee's funeral will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, January 18, at St. Mary's Church in Newport, South Wales. Lee will be buried at St. Woolas Cemetery at 11 a.m. that same day. Both ceremonies are "unrestricted," according to the wishes of his family, meaning fans are welcome to attend. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to Noah's Ark Appeal, a children's charity (T. J. Davies Limited, 54-56 Chepstow Road, Newport, Gwent, South Wales, NP1 98WU, United Kingdom). Management, meanwhile, requests that fans send their comments, recollections and photographs to be collected in a scrapbook that will be presented to Lee's family, either by email at Kat@Riot-management.com, or by post to Feeder Central, P.O. Box 2539, London, W1A 3HZ, United Kingdom. Feeder can visit their site at www.feederweb.com Source from sonicnet [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
