    Yeah, that's what I've seen. Some people close to him like Xana, so it seems to be true.... :-(

    The word is he passed in his sleep from complications of diabetes which he had been battling for a long time. The world lost a true talent. He had an incredible voice. 
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

    Such sad and awful news. Shawn's music was always a huge inspiration to my wife and me. A few months ago, I talked with Shawn and he graciously recorded vocals for a song on my band's upcoming EP. Now, I feel weird releasing it without him around. RIP pal, you will be missed by many.

    Such an INCREDIBLE talent...
    The Day Brings is one of my all time favorite songs!!
    Seeing Shawn play Brad hits & covering Crown Of Thorns & Purple Rain,
    live in a barn in Central Ohio is one of my greatest concert memories.
    I'll never forget how genuine he was & so happy we have his music to remember him forever!!

    Imagine how Mike feels. What are the are the odds three people from Seattle and the music industry, two of which had side projects with PJ died on his birthday. I did CPR on 16 year old who hung himself on my mother’s birthday twenty years ago and every year on her birthday I’m reminded of that tragedy. We all think about loved ones who passed but poor Mike must really do some reflection every year he has another birthday. Simply sad.
