I hope he finds what he was looking for over the rainbow.
R.I.P Charles.
Condolences to his friends and family.
if you looked at the band’s picture, all of their eyes are completely dialated, a sign of likely drug use. So, imo, he was probably totally f’ed up on drugs…
There’s no way you can see from that picture that their eyes are dilated. It’s too small.
yeah u can
I’m sure that was horrific for the people at the festival!
He was a BRIT idc, and if he was under the influence on anything its not a accidental you are commitn suicde if you take xtc or acid so w.e
brits laugh at americans all the time sayin ahahah 9/11 thats not funny but may he r.i.p
I am deeply saddened. 22 years old,
I wish other people could have got him some help.
james the terrible, satan jesus, lin lee, ana, remi, we know you’re all the same person. You don’t have to create dupes to say the same thing over and over again. Why don’t YOU kill yourself so you won’t bother us again with you stupid remarks.
It’s amazing to me the people who are making rude and insensitive comments about a man who took his own life. What is wrong with you people? Why are you making “jokes” about suicide. Stop yourselves because it isn’t funny.
Thanks for being a voice of sanity here, Teresa. There are so many trolls on these sort of boards that I fear even looking sometimes. I just hope they’re truly the minority, but they just have bigger, louder mouths that makes it only appear the majority of the population is this ignorant and insensitive.
Free will gives each person the suicide option. If that’s what he wanted to do, who is entitled to dispute that?
Who? and how lame at a rock concert!
Kids today just don’t know how to crowdsurf.
Last!
I bought their lone single, “Dance The Way I Feel” the week of New Years in january after stumbling upon it on iTunes by chance. It was a super slow release of new music, had some gift cards from the holidays…I highly recommend it to any fans of Electro-pop or La Roux…you won’t be disappointed, and sad that this article makes no mention of the one lone track available here in the U.S.
the thing is, we are all really sad people to spend our time posting comments on the internet. we’re just one step away from doing the same thing this guy did. let’s all get a life and logoff
How about the young girl he fell on and factured her spine? What about her??????
The whole story wasnt told by the article. During his show he jumped into the crowd(crowdsurfing) crippling a women with spinal injures. The guilt of possibily parallelizing a women must have been too much.
