    Maybe he listened to one of his band's albums and decided to call it a day.

    Yeh its for definite :(

    Jon Lee, drummer with Brit rockers Feeder has been found dead in his home in Miami. Jon, 33, is survived by his wife Tatiana and a son, Cameron. Lee's body was discovered on Monday but the news has only just been announced.

    Bandmates Grant Nicholls (vocals) and Taka Hirose (guitar), have released a statement which read: 'We will miss him more than melody. We're utterly devastated.'

    A spokesman for Feeder's record company said: 'Our sincere and heartfelt sympathy extends to Jon's family, fellow band members and all his friends. At this dreadfully difficult time we would ask that Jon's family and friends are afforded the utmost privacy.'

    Lee, originally from Newport, South Wales, was a founding member of the band who had four UK Top 20 singles including Buck Rogers and Just A Day. Lead singer Grant Nicholas says Jon's family have asked the band not to split up.
