U.S. band RA RA RIOT have vowed to continue making music despite the death of their drummer earlier this month (Jun07).
John Pike went missing from a party in Massachusetts on 1 June, and his body was found two days later (03Jun07) by divers in nearby waters.
Although confessing the tragedy has hit them hard, Pike’s bandmates insist he would have wanted to continue without him.
In a MySpace posting they write, "We have felt lost since the death of our friend and band mate, John. There will always be unanswered questions, so we can only surrender to life and move forward without fully understanding.
"In our distress we feel lucky for having been so close to him, and we’re thankful for the guidance that memories of him will give us. All of us in the band are enthusiastic and determined to live out the plans we laid together with John.
"As we continue, the pain of missing a dear friend will remind us how much we loved him. Coinciding with the wishes of John’s family, we have decided to continue onward. We are thankful for the continuous support from friends, family and the music community during this difficult time. We find comfort in this solidarity, and hope that it gives us strength."
