It’s always sad when a young musician dies, but it has to be a horrible blow to bandmembers when one of their own dies on the day their debut album is released.
Bassist/guitarist/songwriter Johnny Schou of Colorado band Tickle Me Pink was found dead this morning, just hours before his band was set to do a Denver in-store appearance to coincide with the release of their Wind-Up Records debut “Madeline.”
The band had just played a bunch of Warped Tour dates and were set to go on the road with Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Finch, a journey that would have brought them to Atlanta’s Masquerade Music Park on Sept. 11, 2008.
A statement on the band’s official site and their MySpace page concludes with this:: “Further information regarding the band’s plans, and dates that have been previously announced, will be forthcoming in due time. Johnny Schou was 22 years-old.”
