R.I.P. Oli Herbert (All That Remains) and Du Yuwei (GNZ48)

Read More All That Remains As expected, fans are divided on the approach that All That Remains have taken on their new album but I think the least anyone could say is that it's a giant step forward from the disaster that was A War You …

Oli Herbert, lead guitarist for All That Remains was found dead in a nearby pond at his Connecticut home, at the age of 44. Police found him after families reported him missing, so cause of death is still a mystery at this time… according to TMZ.

We caught Oli in All That Remains just over a year ago September 2017 and was impressed by their cover of Garth Brooks’ “The Thunder Rolls”: “Believe me, you haven’t lived until you see bodies surfing to a country song.”

Speaking of unexpected deaths, especially at a young age, is Du Yuwei from the massive 86-girl group GNZ48, who committed suicide from what appears to be a fallout of having an affair with a married man. In these all-girls pop idol groups, the singers have to sign a contract that prevent them from dating (or appears to be taken), so they would appeal to young boys.

It’s just sad to see these young people killing themselves… over just nothing really. Du Yuwei was only 19 years old.
