Death of Lisa's Brother, David

When did David Coleman, brother of ex-Revolution keyboardist Lisa Coleman, die? Was this recently? I know he co-wrote "Around the World In A Day" and played on the CD.


From Wendy and Lisa's Site:

Thank you,
through this difficult time.
My family and I can find comfort in knowing that David was loved by so many of you! We mourn his loss and we miss him terribly. We are lucky that he left us with so much poetry, art and music... and with that we can all go 'AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY.'
Thank YOU, David. WE LOVE YOU

Anxiety

Jonathan died a few years back...David, I believe, died within the past few months. Prince dedicated "Sometimes It Snows In April" to him at the first Staples Center show this past March (the simulcasted show).

Both Prince's camp and Wendy & Lisa's camp have been very tight-lipped about what happened, other than some semi-veiled messages that they've been mourning his death.

Well... I hope they work through their sorrow over David the same way they did for Jonathan, cuz I love the GirlBros. album and I want a new one from the girls! Besides that would only be fair. Can't do an album for Wendy's brother and then skip on Lisa's... Can they? confused

I would like to know how did David die. With his death being so tight-lipped I having a good guess of the reason behind it, but I refused to say it. Anyway regardless of the reason Lisa had loss a brother at such a young age. I could feel her pain of losing someone that is close so soon.

wasn't this posted a few months ago? It is truly sad. I think I read an interview with him a few years ago in Controversy magazine. He seemed very nice.
