Kulttiyhtye Jonathan Fire*Eaterin laulaja Stewart Lupton on kuollut.

Lupton perusti Jonathan Fire*Eaterin vuonna 1993. Bändi lopetettiin vuonna 1998.

Bändi julkaisi urallaan kaksi levyä, jotka nauttivat vankkaa kulttimainetta indie-fanien keskuudessa.

Thank you so much for your tributes to this beautiful artist. I love hearing what he meant to other people. Stewart inspires me endlessly and is so dearly missed 🥀🥀 🖤#StewartLupton ・・・ My cousin, the inimitable Stewart Lupton. An inspiration through the ages. Through my ages. I remember clinging to your leg in a princess costume. I remember flipping through @seventeen, seeing your face and saving the issue in a special stack on my bookshelf. I remember the thrill when you told me you liked my music choice on the day we buried grandad. I remember @catpowerofficial at @930club and my first night in NYC with you guiding the way – a Times Square blur all the way to Redhook. Had no idea where I was but trusted you to lead me. You have led me in such profound ways, even in distance, even in silence, even without knowing or meaning to. Your overwhelming, gut-wrenching genius even you don’t understand. It has been a strong beacon of inspiration since I was a child. Sometimes it confuses you, and me. But I always stand in awe of you. I celebrate you, cuz. Because you give more to me and so many others than I think you know. 💖💖💖💖 #childballads #jonathanfireeater
