Wow, the worse possible way he could've died. So sad to see someone take their own life
Well damn, especially with him being the same age as me and all.

Prodigy were amazing. I saw them live four times and still one of the best live shows I have been to. Big loss and he sure will be seen as an iconic artist. I teach a unit about how music changes over the decades and has an influence in our lives and the Prodigy is an artist I use for the 90's and the kids enjoy watching him.

Seattle singer Shawn Smith who was in the band
Brad with Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard has passed away aged 53 after complications with diabetes.
Reportedly passing away on April 5th, a date that has become synonymous with Seattle’s music scene – and not in a good way – Smith’s death shares its date with the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, who passed away April 5 1994, and Alice in Chains singer Layne Staley, who died April 5 2002.

Geez, Covid has sure left it's mark! I used to love Flawless and saw him live at a festival once. I remember his performance being epic and flawless haha... sad to read that! And Fountains of Wayne singer was young! I don't know much about the band but I do remember the film clip to Stacy's Mom which probably helped it have some success, smart move on their part! Sad to read of his passing too! The Goodies were funny and a classic, sucks to see him pass away! C'mon America don't be stupid now, it's a worry how many more will be added to this page if they don't take matters seriously!
