JON LEE, drummer with Welsh rock trio FEEDER, has been found dead in his MIAMI home after committing suicide.
Lee, 33, was discovered on Monday (January 7).
Lee leaves a widow, Tatiana Englehart, the Brazilian model whom he married at a ceremony in Florida in 2000, and a son, Cameron. He had made his home in Miami after the wedding.
In a brief statement, Lee's distraught bandmates said simply: "We shall miss him more than melody. We're utterly devastated."
Lee, originally from Newport, formed Feeder with frontman Grant Nicholas in 1992 in south Wales. They moved to London in 1995 in search of success and hooked up with bassist Taka Hirose. Touring incessantly and building up a solid fanbase, the band finally broke through in 2001 with biggest hit 'Buck Rogers' the first single from their third album 'Echo Park'. Both the single and album peaked at Number Five in the UK chart.
The band had recently finished a tour supporting Stereophonicsacross Europe and before Christmas had scored another top 20 hit with the 'Just A Day E.P.'.

I didn't know he'd died??? It must have been nice to have a house in Miami though, what will happen to Feeder?? Will they search for a new guy like Limp Bizkit??
And Kurt Cobain wasn't killed, as he killed himself! For the people who didn't know. I wonder where Nirvana would be if he hadn't shot himself?? There'd probably be no Foo Fighters either...

It is in fact true. Those of you that know me will know that I follow Feeder with a passion. Nobody has any idea how much they really mean to me though. Jon will be missed. He was a fantastic guy, full of life and energy, and Feeder will not be the same without him. I have no idea whether or not they will continue. I have followed the band for six years from when they originally started and have yet to hear a song of poor quality, and am left in horrific shcok by this news. My thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends, family, and followers. Rest In Peace Jon Lee.
That is really bad new, I cant belive it. Ive like feeder since I heard just a day on GT3 which is a great song.
It is True, It was just the "top story" on Radio one.
it's sad then but why would he do it?

I'm sorry as much as you dont want this to be true it is true. Like I said below, I wouldn't lie about it.
