Thanks for posting this. I saw the news from the fan club, but I sometimes feel like the only Crowded House fan around these parts...

Sorry... RIP Peter, may you meet the rest of those who have left so aburply.R.I.P. Wow this is a bit of a shock. Always wondered why they never just went with Peter Jones when they were looking for a new drummer, when they reformed in 2007. We're here, might as well get into it. | |

Peter probably didn't wanna go on tour. | |

Yeah, he was pretty settled and had moved on. Matt Sherrod has done an excellent job at any rate. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I thought that CH's drummers were Paul Hester (died in 2005) and Matt Sherrod. | |

Jones played drums for the band between 1994 and until they split up in 1996, Hessie actually left the band in 94. We're here, might as well get into it. | |
