[Guilbert]

Peter Hester, drummer with Crowded House, has been
found dead.

Looks like he hung himself.

Bad time for rock drummers. !

ive just read on yahoo news page, they were a nice band i thought good songs too.

Very sad, but if you had to perm any one from 3 excluding the other Finn brother, Peter was the candidate, he was a founding member but all the adulation went to Niel and Nick S. I dont think he could handle not being famous anymore, it,s a tough drug.

[Deuce Bigolo]

He was the Extrovert of the group who are usually the people that have high highs and very low lows


Even had a gig as the Cook with "The Wiggles" so its not like he wasn't in demand after the Crowded House dissolved

You could be right about the adulation factor but
Crowded House bowed out 9 years ago(when they were at the peak of their success it must be said) so it might be stretching that theory a bit far

It could be anything, he could have had family problems, his health could have failing someway - or maybe he (understandably) had just had it up to here with this stupid world of arseholes...
we may never know

I think you will find his name was Paul Hester not Peter,

Sad to hear another good musician go this way. R.I.P. Paul Hester
