Echo And The Bunnymen keyboardist Jake Brockman died on Tuesday evening in a motorcycle accident.
Brockman, 53, was traveling on the Isle Of Man in the Irish Sea when he collided with a converted ambulance, according to a World Entertainment News article. He was taken to hospital, but died in an intensive care unit.
"Jake was always a classic bike enthusiast, he loved sailing thought he was invariably seasick," his wife Sally Mundy said in a statement. "Music was central to Jake's life."
Brockman joined Echo And The Bunnymen in 1989 and was to appear on their upcoming new album, The Fountain.
Unfortunately, this isn't the only motorcycle-related tragedy to affect Echo And The Bunnymen. Drummer Pete De Freitas died in a motorcycle accident in 1989.
