Written by: Nikki

Sad news over the weekend, with the tragic loss of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool lead singer, Charlie Haddon.

The band had not long finished performing at the Belgium’s Pukkelpop Festival when Charlie took his own life by jumping from a satellite mast in the backstage parking area.

The band were about to head down-under next month for the first time on tour for Parklife.

May He Rest In Peace
