This seems to be official...I normally don't like to post stuff like this unless it is fully confirmed, but this is from a Split Enz message board.

It's ironic that world wide his likeness is probably best known as the shirtless angel on the album cover "Crowded House."

I read about it this morning at cnn.com.

A terrible and sad shame. Crowded House were a part of our pop cultural landscape back in the day. Stuff like this always makes me sad.

This was very sad news. I thought these guys were great as Split Enz and Crowded House. I saw CH at the tower theater in Philly years back and Sheryll Crow was the opening act.
Very Sad
