Thanks to Altpress for this little write up on Stewart: Reports online and Twitter posts are surfacing with indication that Stewart Teggart–a band manager who worked with the likes of Bad Religion, Pennywise, Therefore I Am, Blessthefall, Greeley Estates and more–has passed away. Teggart reportedly died Tuesday night as the result of a heart attack.
A tweet from Therefore I Am, who were managed by Teggart through this past December, reads: “RIP Stewart Teggart. You gave us the best summer of our lives and taught us so much. You will be missed.”
No official statement has been released yet, but we’ll bring you more as we hear it.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Stewart Teggart.
As I’m writing this blog, I’m listening to ” Burn Piano Island Burn” and holy crap is it an amazing song. You might have heard Epitaph’s re-issuing The Blood Brother catalog.
2002’s March On Electric Children, 2003’s Burn Piano Island, Burn (which comes with the out-of-print concert DVD, Jungle Rules Live), 2005’s Crimes and 2006’s Young Machetes on Nov. 17 with bonus material of attendant b-sides, live recordings and remixes that were previously unavailable in America.
Fron Alt Press:Pennywise lead singer and songwriter Jim Lindberg has announced that he’s leaving the group. Lindberg released this statement:
” After 20 years, nine albums and thousands of shows around the world, my time in Pennywise has come to an end. Being the singer for this band has been an amazing experience, and along the way we made some of the best fans anyone could ask for. There are few things that made me more proud than seeing people at our shows singing our songs, and it’s your support and encouragement that’s kept me going this long. I would sincerely like to thank everyone who helped us along the way and wish everyone in the Pennywise family the best of luck and continued success. Yours truly, Jim.”
Can’t wait until spring for the next AP Tour? You don’t have to! The AP Tour returns with “The Fall Ball” and You Me At Six has been confirmed as the opening act. Pre-sale starts Aug. 5!
