| The details are still sketchy, but close friends of musician and artist Gidget Gein (aka Brad Stewart) tell us he was found dead yesterday of an apparent OD in his home in Burbank. Considering his macabre sensibilities, we'd hoped this was some kind of goth stunt, but calls to the LA Coroner today confirm the passing.
Best known for his tumultuous time in Marilyn Manson (he was kicked out due to drug problems just as the band was breaking through, and replaced by Twiggy Ramirez, who many say copped his style and look), Gein went on to form art gothster faves The Dali Gaggers in New York in the late '90's. Taking a break from performing, he returned to his Florida hometown to work as a " bag boy" for the Florida Coroner's office in 2000. He moved to LA about 5 years ago to pursue his art, and his dark and beguiling works were often the most talked about at the city's wildest openings and parties including BlueGirl Events and World of Wonder exhibits. Recently out of rehab for what was apparently not the first time, Gein -whose name is a mesh of serial killer Ed Gein and Sally Field's 60's TV character "Gidget"-had a lot to look forward to. He had just emailed us a couple of weeks ago about a new band he was playing with called People (supporting Semi Precious Weapons and Gram Rabbit at House of Blues last week). Good pal Lenora Claire tells us, "He had just got a book deal, was recording a record with the guy who produced the first Janes Addiction record and just landed a solo show at La Luz de Jesus that he had wanted for years." She says she plans to make sure the show, set for February of next year, still happens no matter what.http://blogs.laweekly.com/play/news/rip-gidget-gein-local-artist-f/ | |

| It's sad how many people in the music buisness and the entertainment industry in general die from overdosing on drugs.I guess being talented and having a creative outlet doesn't always make you happy. | |

| ^^ I agree, it seems to me that the more creative you are the more depressed you are. I get that impression from alot of my friends, not really sure why. Maybe they realise how crap this world is. | |

| ^^ I've noticed the same thing. Every musician I know suffers from depression. It's interesting when you think about it. I just wish some wouldn't turn to drugs. | |

| That's very good. Why turn to drugs when you have caring people around you? | |
