Echo & The Bunnymen Keyboard Player Dies





















Via
slicingupeyeballs.com:

"Former Echo & The Bunnymen keyboard player Jake Brockman — dubbed the “fifth Bunnyman” — was killed in a motorcycle accident on the Isle of Man in the UK on Tuesday, according to the BBC.


In a sad twist, that’s the same fate that befell original drummer Pete de Freitas, who died in a similar motorcycle crash in 1989."


What a sad, bizarre coincidence. My thoughts go out to Brockman's friends and family. Echo & The Bunnymen were a big part of my formative musical years.
