"Stage dive death
From correspondents in London
July 28, 2005

A ROCK band lead singer died on stage after an acrobatic leap went tragically wrong.

Patrick Sherry, 29, of Bad Beat Revue, was performing at the Warehouse Club in Leeds on Wednesday night as part of the Club NME tour when he fell, sustaining fatal head injuries.

Horrified onlookers said the singer tried to leap off the stage and swing off a lighting rig hanging from one of the venue's wooden beams but lost his grip and fell to the floor head first.

Sherry was taken to hospital but he died on Thursday morning. His brother, also a band member, said he died doing what he did best."

obviously a traumatic and very sad situation for him, but come on, he just said his brother was a Darwin-klutz!

Sad and yet, kinda funny.

That'll teach him to stay away from the lighting rig.

I'm still trying to figure out what it is he did best.

It clearly wasn't stage-diving, so I'm guessing it must be falling head first into floors. :)

Guess he should have been wearing a helmet... ;)
