davieG Posted 29 March 2019 Posted 29 March 2019 I don't know these but very sad as they seemed to be on the brink of 'making it' Both members of the Liverpool band Her's and their tour manager have been killed in a crash in the US. Duo Stephen Fitzpatrick and Audun Laading, as well as manager Trevor Engelbrektson, died while travelling to a gig in California on Wednesday, their record label Heist or Hit said. The label described them as "one of the UK's most loved up and coming bands". The duo had recently released their debut album and had been featured by BBC Introducing. Heist Or Hit said they were killed "in a road accident in the early hours of Wednesday whilst travelling to a show in Santa Ana, California". They had performed in Phoenix, Arizona, on Tuesday and were driving about 350 miles to Santa Ana in California when the crash happened. Posting on their Facebook page on Monday, the band wrote: "It's almost home time for the lads, US tour has gone swimmingly so far. Got a hot sunset date with the Grand Canyon tonight." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-47742694

One day you're in Her's, the next day you're in a hearse.
spacemunky Posted 29 March 2019 Posted 29 March 2019 Very sad to hear this. Pretty sure I've heard something from them. I certainly will give them a listen this weekend.
