> A continuation of last week's news of Skinny Puppy...
Dwayne Goettel of Skinny Puppy was found dead Aug. 23 at the home of his parents in Edmonton of an apparent heroin overdose. Dwayne and bandmate cEvin Key had been working on the upcoming Skinny Puppy record as well as other side projects.
Skinny Puppy vocalist, Ogre, who had surreptitiously left the band several months ago due to extreme internal band problems, had this statement:
"I am completely devestated by the loss of Dwayne. The loneliness and separation that comes when faced with the unbearable realization of addiction can sometimes prove too much. I am truly sorry for Dwayne's family, and hope he is remembered as being extremely sensitive and a beautiful, gifted person/artist whose talent and offerings were cut short by drugs. He was the little-known genius behind the curtain of Skinny Puppy."
> The upcoming Victoria Williams album due out in October, Live In Toronto, tentatively is scheduled to include 15 songs.
