Former Crowded House and Split Enz drummer Paul Hester was yesterday found dead in Melbourne, Australia.

Hester was 46 yrs of age and apparently had been suffering from a bout of depression. Hester's body was found at 1pm on Easter Sunday.

Hester, along with Neil Finn were a driving force behind one of this country's most successful exports....Crowded House.

Paul, Rest In Peace my friend and thanks for the wonderful music and memories.

i got to spend some time with crowded house after they played a show in miami about ten years ago. paul hester was, without a doubt, one of the funniest and most endearing people i've met in my life.

Great comments Mike, and one of the local cable music channels have been playing a Crowded House/Paul Hester tribute package all week, and what a collection of fabulous songs they have written and recorded.

Such a tragic loss, not only to our local Australian music scene, but worldwide.

Whatever happened to the other Aussie in Crowded House? The bass player.

(remembering of course that the Finn brothers are Waikato boys)
