Oh? Could’ve sworn there was a Now! That’s What I Call Daydreaming About A Peaceful World After Having The Piss Beaten Out Of Me By Thugs Who Did An Island Massacre compilation album.

Back then, he said nobody knew what it was. It disappeared after a week, but apparently less than half of the people with it recover completely.

Ulitzer95 12,641 Posted March 2, 2023 Jon Lee of Feeder killed himself in 2002. Stuart Cable of Stereophonics died from alcohol abuse related reasons in 2010. As SC alluded to, 3 Britpop era members of the Charlatans are dead (though one was a touring member only). The guitarist of The Supernaturals died last year. The La's lost a former member last year also, though he was a member in the late 80s (pre-Britpop era). I think that's everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having seen them live they have the nicest bunch of fans you'll ever mingle with - I think some of their stuff, notably the signing off album We Love Life a bit underrated.
