Just as other misinformation spread so soon after his passing (like the whole diabetes thing), he did not pass on 4/5. He was found on 4/5. He was last heard from on 4/2, I believe, and didn't show up to the studio on 4/3 which was not like him.
My bad.
Like I said - (and... not that it’s all that important given the magnitude of his passing) I stumbled onto the article in the Seattle Times which states 04/05:
Regardless of when, the bottom line is that it still sucks that he’s gone.
Have been seeing PJ and their related projects/bands since 98. I feel like his passng is yet another reminder that all ‘this’ is temporary and fleeting (none of us are getting any younger). So enjoy the moment(s) while you can. :-)
Saw him play in the UK the day after Chris Cornell died, was magical and I do feel blessed to have been able to see him - his music is beautiful and I'm a little heartbroken to hear the news. Will be spinning The Family later.
Shawn performed in San Francisco with a band named Stenner Glen last September. They played "For So Long" from The Family. I got to thank Shawn for playing that song after the show, as it's one of my favorites. Love that whole album.
Nice, that's a great song. Was San Francisco his last ever show?
He played a show at Cafe Racer in Seattle on Jan 26th.
WOW. So sad. This really hits close to home. Buttercup voice, kind and gentle soul. Too young. So glad I saw Brad quite a few times. Extreme condolences to his family, and Stone and Regan. Tears.
