Only just found out that Crowded House's drummer, Peter Jones died in May this year.
Not big news over here, despite him being English.

He replaced one of my pop heroes, Paul Hester. After the band separated in the mid-nineties he pursued a career in music and television but hanged himself in 2005. Peter Jones replaced him when he band reformed. BIG shoes to fill.

Jones died at the age of 45 of brain cancer.
I saw him live twice and although I cannot judge him as a musician, he was a presence on stage and certainly competent. I don't mean to damn him with faint praise - just that Hestie was such a character in live shows.

RIP Peter Jones. I didn't mark your passing and that bums me out.

And all I want is something I can write about
And all I want is something I can cry about...
