I realy don't get this, someone explain please? is it anyone else or just me being stupid?
it's not such a simplistic situation as it's made out to be in that post. He had other parts of his life not connected to the band or with their rising popularity. plus everyone reacts to things differently, you can't possibly try to determine any sort of cause when dealing with suicide (for the sake of this discussion, the possibilty of murder is ruled out). there's way too many factors to be able to give an explanation.
