I'm devastated. Girls Aloud was an important part of british pop culture, one of my favorite pop acts, and I remember getting into them when they had recently stopped, hoping I would one day witness a reunion. I feel for her family and her bandmates. I'm grateful she was able to share her story as well as her last struggles in her book too. I'm hoping to read it in its entirety once I feel comfortable doing so.
Awful stuff. I haven’t kept up with his solo career super well but Guitar Romantic is one of my favorite records ever and the story just keeps getting more tragic. RIP. King Louie Bankston, Louisiana Garage Rock Mainstay of the Exploding Hearts, Dies at 49
