I think I saw them open for DISTURBED. This is sad. I really hope he died from something other than a drug OD....that would be so boring.

This realy sucks because I just missed them at Ozz Fest this weekend. Along with Disturbed, they were one of my favorite bands to listen to. Thier song "Bodies" would of been a much bigger success if it were not tied to/released around 9/11. I know many stations felt it was not cool to play the song after seeing people jumpimg from the WTC.
RIP Dave Williams.

Bodies was released and gone long before the WTC thing. It isn't heard anymore because it's an old single.
I didn't really care for their music, but that is sad that he died so early into his career.
They were one of the bigger acts that were about to come to a radio show here in Portland Oregon at the end of the month too.

on the radio, they said that, the band pulled up to nissan pavillian (where ozzfest was going to be next ) and got up to get the keys, they notcied that the singer wasnt there, the manager goes to the bunk to find that he had passed away. an autopsy has been performed but results wont be availible until later today.

An autopsy conducted Thursday morning proved inconclusive, according to a Prince William County police spokesperson. A cause of death is expected to be determined from toxicology tests, which generally take four to six weeks.

A guitar tech from one of the bands that was on Ozzfest earlier this year called KRock in NYC to say that Drowning Pool's singer had a pinched nerve in his back and had been taking painkillers for it. If he spent a night drinking and took his painkillers, that could be your reason right there.

thats horrorable. I hope everyone boo's them. it's the lead singer. it was what I would call, part of the "sound" of drowning pool.
Will they play there songs or will it be lee's songs?
all in all, if the lead singer of a band dies on tour, just stop and regroup. it's the only sane thing to do.
