Male suicide

Drummer committed suicide - www.theage.com.au

This is so sad. Sad he was driven to it and no one could stop him. Sad because he was a man of talent. Sad because I have loved Crowded House and Split Enz and they have had such an impact on our musical world downunder. Sad because men in their forties/fifties are so vulnerable. Sad because he had to commit suicide in a public place. The menopause is well acknowledged and women now get more support for their vulnerable emotional times. Granted, they have worked hard to be understood. Men need to take a tip. Not enough are confronting the issues of prostate cancer and not enough are dealing with the womenopause. It's an intensely emotional time for men and, in my experience, many become quite depressed and dark. They need support...but they need to be able to ask for it.
