Charles Haddon RIP
Can't see this already posted anywhere, so:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-11047951 Ou-est la swimming pool singer allegedly committed suicide. I find this really sad, he was only 22 and they were a good band. ![]() RIP. |

I don't think I've heard of them before, but RIP.

My first thought was that the singer must not have agreed with the OP...
Perhaps he'd taken something and had a bad trip? Still, it's always sad when someone so young take their own life like that. Such a waste. |

Heard about this last night on Twitter via NME. There was a link to the article and then a button to click to buy tickets as it looks as though the band were gigging later in the year. I was thinking they should have removed the 'buy tickets' link for obvious reasons. I doubt the rest of the band would want to carry on with any scheduled gigs as not only have they lost their singer, but I would imagine a good friend of theirs.
![]() I've heard of the band but don't know anything about them other than hearing a 30 second clip of one of their songs. I guessed that the singer would have been in his 20's and as Johnnycash has posted that he was 22, it really is tragic news for family/friends and fans of the guy. |

![]() Just read of another death at this Pukkelpop festival. Michael Been frontman with The Call has died of a heart attack at the age of 60. He was working as a soundman for his son who is a member of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. http://www.nme.com/news/various-artists/52579 |

Suddenly the song 'Dance the Way I feel' sounds completely different!!

I saw on the nme website that 'buy tickets' thing, I've just checked and its gone now. This is obviously a shame not only because he was so young, but also the band were definately on the up and had their new album coming out, I really hope the rest of the band decide to release it.
Suddenly the song 'Dance the Way I feel' sounds completely different!! ![]() I agree the band seemed to be on the up just from what I've read - the amount of gigs they had coming up. Lots of international appearances amongst them. Would be a fitting tribute for their friend if they did go ahead with the release of the album. |

I discovered these through NME about a year ago with 'Dance The Way I Feel' and loved it. I went to see them a few times in London and saw them support La Roux and they are a genuinely fantastic band both live and recorded.
Such sad news, a great musician has been lost. I can't even think what the rest of the band and his family and friends are going through! RIP Charles. |

RIP to the both of them. |

R.I.P, really liked OELSP, quite a good debut album as well, coming out next week in fact
not the greatest live band, but decent on record.

This is very sad news, I watched these guys play in the rising stage tent at the summer sundae weekender festival in 2009.
Dance The Way I Feel and all it's remixes got such a rinsing on my iPod last year and the early months of 2010. Awesome track. I hope the band can carry on. Do they or did they have any plans for an album? RIP Charles. |

I heard about this yesterday, it's tragic. RIP Charles Haddon. I didn't know their music that well apart from Dance the Way I Feel, which I really like but I also saw them live on Brighton seafront at the Great Escape Festival. They were so fun - brilliant live performers. As others are saying, they had so much potential and I hope they do eventually release their album.

Middle-class attention seeker playing the part of tortured musical genius. Without being a genius. :yawn:

Might be an idea to think before you post in a thread like this. Or, better still, not saying anything at all. Moron. |

I'm sorry that the guys dead but I'd never heard of him or the band.
