what he’s dead?
No, but here’s a quote on why he left:
"Now, I was dreaming when I wrote this, so forgive me if it goes astray, but when I woke up this morning I could’ve sworn that it was judgement day. The sky was all purple; there were people running everywhere. They were trying to run from the destruction, and you know I just didn’t even care. I say, 2000 zero zero, party over, oops, out of time. So, tonight I’m going to party like it’s 1999.
Again, I was dreaming when I wrote this, so sue me if I go to fast, but life was just and party and parties weren’t meant to last. The war was all around us, my mind said prepare to fight. So if I have to die, I’m going to listen to my body tonight."
Make of that what you will. I personally didn’t quite understand it, but I guess it makes sense.
