Subject: Crowded House drummer Peter Jones dies at 45

Written By: Philip Eno on 05/20/12 at 8:46 am

Crowded House drummer Peter Jones has died at the age of 45.

According to newspaper reports, the Liverpool-born musician had been suffering from brain cancer.

A statement published on the Antipodean band's website read: "We are in mourning today for the death of Pete Jones.

"We remember him as a warm-hearted, funny and talented man, who was a valuable member of Crowded House. He played with style and spirit."

It continued: "We salute him and send our love and best thoughts to his family and friends."

Jones replaced the band's previous drummer, Paul Hester, in 1994.

Hester killed himself after suffering from depression in 2005.

Crowded House were formed in 1985 and went on to have worldwide success with hits such as Weather With You and Don't Dream Its Over.

I wonder why I didn't recognize the name Peter Jones.  A sad loss indeed :(

He joined in 1994, which means he would have been present on the 1996 track 'Instinct' which was their final chart appearance here in Canada.  I like that song!

I hadn't recognized the name either...but given his age, I figured he was probably not an original member.

"Don't Dream It's Over" and "Something So Strong" were my favorites from the band...but those were both from the 80's.
