Apparently of liver failure after a long struggle with alcoholism.

Astro Lounge was one of the very first albums I ever bought. This stuff sucks to hear.

No parent should outlive their child. This is awful news.

yeah it really is. apparently the kid was only 6 months old and died from leukemia in '01 and harwell basically started drinking all the time after that. i read an article that said he stepped away from the band in '19 due to being visibly drunk at a show and vaguely threatening fans and had been in assisted living since '21. terrible that he had to shoulder a burden like his only kid dying so young, i don't want to imagine what that could drive a person to do.

astro lounge was also one of the first cd's i ever had.

according to that article his son got sick and was rushed to hospital and died only a few days later. i can't imagine the death of a child at all, but especially a baby you just got to know who was seemingly healthy and all that happening in just days

Now I am legit wondering if his parents are still alive.

I know their song is a meme and fans did not like the guy "Just play the song" I am remembering one video well.
Did not know he was an alcoholic and that's the reason he was probably acting the way he was in the clip.

Sad
