Pete de Freitas 02/08/61 – 14/06/89
Post-Punk Liverpudlians Echo & The Bunnymen were formed in 1978. By 1980, Pete de Freitas (second from left) had replaced the drum machine and the group’s debut album ‘Crocodiles’ made the UK Top 20 gathering critical acclaim along the way. The band split in 1988 and the following year, de Freitas was killed in a motorcycle accident on his way back from filming the video for Julian Cope’s ‘China Doll’. His ashes are buried in Goring-on-Thames.

- Although this is contentious, Richie Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers also disappeared at 27 I think. He can’t be an official member of the 27 club as his body was never found even though its suspected he jumed off the severn bridge
