What a weekend in rock! Ou Est Le Swimming Pool frontman Charles Haddon , and a concertgoer in California both committed suicide.
Haddon apparently feared that he had seriously injured a female fan after a sudden stage dive the previous day at the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium. So he climbed to the top of a satellite mast and jumped off, either from remorse, or wanting to prevent the band from incurring a lawsuit (what?)
Michael Edward Pickels, however, just seems to be a crazy who decide to jump off a roof during a winery festival in San Jose. Maybe The Swell Season is that bad, I’m not sure, never heard them.
And in related death news, Michael Been of The Call, had a heart attack and died backstage at the 
Pukkelpop Festival also. His son, Robert Levon, is frontman for Black Rebel Motorcylce Club, and he was their sound man.
Did anything good happen this weekend?
