Bunnymen Keyboardist Dies in a Motorcycle Accident

Jake Drake-Brockman, a keyboardist for Echo and the Bunnymen, died in a motorcycle crash on the Isle of Man on Tuesday. Known as "the fifth Bunnyman," Brockman played on several of the band's hits before joining as a full-time member in 1989, and their upcoming album, 'The Fountain,' was the seventh to feature his work. He was 53.
According to the Isle of Man Today, Brockman was seriously injured after his motorcycle collided with another motorist. He was airlifted to a hospital, but died in the intensive care unit. The other driver was uninjured.
In a statement, his family and wife Sally Mundy said, "Jake was always a classic bike enthusiast, he loved sailing thought he was invariably seasick ... Music was central to Jake's life." Brockman also played in the dance band Bom and worked as a sound recordist for the BBC.
"Jake was one of the most gentle, funny and genuine men you could ask to ever meet," Peter Allen, the webmaster for the band's official site website, told IOM Today. "He played on most of the band's biggest hits and toured with the band from the early '80s. He will be hugely missed not just by the band, but by thousands of fans who met him over the years." The band's website simply says, "Our thoughts are with his wife, family and friends."
In 1989, original Bunnymen drummer Pete de Freitas, 27, was also killed in a motorcycling accident, when he was traveling en route to Liverpool from London.

Very dissapointed by this. I'm pretty big on Echo and the Bunnymen, they were one of the unsung heroes of the new wave era, and I was looking forward to an album tour this fall. Dunno what the plans are now.

They are very famous in alternative music. This is sad news indeed. Echo is one of the great groups from our favorite decade, and one that was introduced to me by our patron saint, the late John Hughes.Horrible, simply horrible.Sorry to hear about another person dying so young.I love the Bunny men. RIP Jake. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
