Stig of Icons Of Filth has died

On Saturday, October 23, the singer of Icons Of Filth, Andrew Sewell, better known as "Stig", unexpectedly passed away. During the concert in Hackney/London, he suddenly felt unwell, prompting the band to stop their performance so he could get some fresh air. Shortly thereafter, he collapsed and died later that evening. Initial rumors emerged suggesting that drugs and excessive alcohol consumption were the cause of death. In the meantime, Pete Rose, the guitarist of Icons Of Filth, commented on the situation. He expressed his dismay at how such rumors can spread before Stig's body has even properly cooled. He stated that he had never touched hard drugs and had not consumed much alcohol that evening. The band now hopes that Stig can rest in peace. A condolence book has been set up at http://pub19.bravenet.com/guestbook/1549804573/, where people can dedicate a few last words to Stig.
