Guest Low Roller Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 After an onstage collapse at a show in Vancouver, drummer Devon Clifford has passed away from a massive brain aneurysm. Emergency surgery did not save him. He was only 30 years old. The Canadian band You Say Party! We Say Die! were steadily increasing in popularity in North America with the rapidly emerging dance-punk scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Heard about this yesterday but didn't hear about the cause of death. Very sad news. I saw these kids multiple times in the past few years and always enjoyed their shows. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 sad sad news... a former Big Sugar drummer died in a similar way - right on stage. As I was told the story Gordie didn't go to the funeral.Everything that I have heard about Gordie Johnson, including several first-hand accounts, is that he is a massive douchebag on all levels.
