Richard Shannon Hoon (singer) died October 21st, 1995. He left behind a wife (or girlfriend(?)) and a 3-month 10-day old baby girl (born July 11, 1995; age 11 today) named Nico Blue Hoon. One of their roadies found him on the tour bus outside a New Orleans soundcheck dead from an apparent overdose of cocaine. He had just turned 28 just shy of a month in advance, on September 26 (which is at the end of this month). He was buried in Dayton, Indiana with some lyrics from his song "Change" inscribed on his gravestone ("I know we can't all stay here forever/So I'll write my words on the face of today/And they'll paint it"). They were supposed to play a show that very evening following the soundcheck, but were obviously detained. They never did form again or gain a new lead singer, probably out of respect for him. They'd never sound the same without Shannon (in my opinion) and they are probably (apparenlty) fully aware of that. Is this detailed enough?

Blind Melon decided to carry on under a different name and with a new singer -- Smith double as the lead signer in addition to his bass playing duties, the band ultimately decided to go their separate ways. Stevens formed the New York-based band Extra Virgin with singer Rene Lopez (one of the vocalists who had recently tried out for Blind Melon), who issued the album Twelve Stories High in 1999, while Smith and Thorn formed Unified Theory with singer Chris Shinn -- signing with Universal and issuing a self-titled release in 2000. In addition, Thorn has produced other artists (Amy Correia, Zen Mafia, Gus, Jonny Kaplan) and played guitar on Live's 1999 release The Distance to Here. 2001 saw the release of Smith's solo debut (under the alias Abandon Jalopy), titled Mercy, an album he began writing and recording shortly after Hoon's death (several tracks are about his late bandmate).

many human beings observed it, and that they guy, who claimed he became an Israeli grew to become out to be a criminal on parole, his parole became revoked for different motives and he's in reformatory. the tale of the action picture became no longer restricted to right here, many countries had advice that the reason for the unrest, which wasn't restricted that day to individuals or Benghazi became because of the action picture clip. It became meant to provoke and it did.

Tragic, too. They had too much talent to waste.
