Today is probably the worst day ever. Its with our deepest regrets that we have to write this. Casey Calvert passed away in his sleep last night. We found out this afternoon before sound-check. We've spent the entire day trying to come to grips with this and figure out as much as possible. At this time we're not sure what exactly happened. Just last night he was joking around with everyone before he went to bed. We can say with absolute certainty that he was not doing anything illegal. Please, out of respect to Casey and his family, don't contribute or succumb to any gossip you may hear. We don't want his memory to be tainted in the least. Casey was our best friend. He was quirky and awesome and there will truly be no others like him! His loss is unexplainable. As soon as we know more we will let you know.
Sincerely,
Hawthorne Heights

Those truly familiar with my music taste are aware of my feelings toward Hawthorne Heights. A few years ago they topped my "Artists screwing up the music world" list, and would outright refuse to show the band any degree of appreciation. Since then I've retracted those sentiments, though I still can't help but roll my eyes when I recount their antics in the past (The whole battle with Ne-Yo two years ago comes to mind). But regardless, anytime a band that young loses a talent like Calvert, it's a nasty blow. At this point there's no word on whether or not Hawthorne Heights will continue their tour (though I seriously doubt it), or whether they will further delay the album release.If you want info on the legal trouble or anything else, go google it. I'll be back later with other stuff I heard over the weekend, up to and including a review of Paramore's new album.
