Poor Paul. I had no idea he wrestled with stuff like that.
He is the one memory I have from skipping school when I was 15 to go to a soundcheck on the 'Enz with a Bang' tour. The only thing I remember about that day is Paul, wearing pointy black suede boots, black jeans and a bright pink shirt, which he lifted to flash his stomach and chest at me. I took a photo at that exact moment. It turned out great. I wish I knew where it was.
Peter Green posted this to the lists (Frenz, TiTM), but no details or anything, and asked that people not email them for a few days while they wrap their collective brains around it. He said they might have more information at some point, but for now that's all we know.
Me... my body is on autopilot, completely disconnected from my brain at the moment. I've spent the better part of the last hour or so just clicking on my usual links (ESPN, FARK, etc.) and not actually reading anything. It's like my body is going through the motions of trying to distract myself, but my brain is saying "no way".
may he rest in piece - thank you peter for letting us know - I'm sure you, the family, and by now, the Finns are as confused, and sad, as the rest of us..
Yeah, what everyone else said. It's just... sad for everyone. I guess the way people see him (acting very cheerful on stage with the Finns in November, & as host of his music show) isn't the way he feels inside. This is massive.
Something else to add-already sent condolances to his family and friends, but I'd also like to send them to all the fans of Split Enz/Crowded House, too, as it sucks to lose someone from a band you love so much-like stated, they feel like family after a while and everything, so things like this are hard to take. So yeah, condolances to all of you guys as well.
Right there with you Winterpumpkin. This is so sad.
Paul always seemed so open and accessible, maybe too much so. It's terrible if the world around you seems to swallow you up and you have to get off. Peace Paul.
Such sad news, it was obvious that he was always a guy on the edge so to speak but to go to this extreme. My heart goes out to all family and friends and to all Frenz as well.

Well, right now, I'm not sure what extra perks we can offer. So I'll use "premium memberships" as an opportunity to let fans easily donate to the site. You will be charged $20 every 6 months. The software company who gives us the forum keeps $6, and gives us $14.
This forum software won't let us charge less than $40/year... sorry! This is the equivalent of about $3 per month. So little for something SO cool that we're always improving. Cancel any time to not be charged again.
All donations are appreciated! You can also PayPal any amount to webmaster@frenz.com.
Many thanks for your support these 14+ years of this discussion forum!
