Crowded House drummer dies March 28, 2005 SYDNEY, Australia -- The drummer from 1980s rock band Crowded House hanged himself in a park in Australia, an emergency services spokeswoman said Monday. The body of Paul Hester, 46, was found Saturday in a Melbourne park. Mr. Hester joined the New Zealand group Split Enz in 1983. He and Split Enz singer Neil Finn formed Crowded House in 1985 with bassist Nick Seymour. Their hits included ''Don't Dream it's Over.'' AP

Crowded House was one of those bands I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole back in high school/college, but grew to appreciate long after they had been popular. Apparently, this guy suffered from depression and was known to be up and down. The lyrics from "Never Be the Same" seem pretty appropriate here:
Don't stand around Like friends at a funeral Eyes to the ground It could've been you Why do you weep For the passing of ages You slip with the back of your hand You're taking it out on the one you love I couldn't believe it But we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same How long must I wait For you to release me I pay for each mistake While you suffer in silence I could still have an easy life But the lie ain't worth the living Once more will I hear you say We might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same Don't stand around Like friends at a funeral Eyes to the ground Don't suffer in silence 'Cause we might still survive And rise up through the maze If you could change your life And never be the same Everytime I hear you Never be the same And everytime I mess up Never be the same -Crowded House

RIP, Paul Hester. Crowded House/Neil Finn/Finn Brothers have produced some amazing music, Hester deserves a moment of respect.

amen to that. I think the Crowded House Greatest Hits cd has to be one of the best "best of" compilations I've ever heard. Terribly sorry to hear about this.

I thought Sixpence None the Richer wrote that song? (Just kidding, had a debate about a month ago with a young coworker who was explaining all of Sixpence's contributions to music and I had to google Crowded House to win the free lunch)
