Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.
Thirsty Merc's stage manager, Shane Cooper, has been killed in a vehicle accident. The band's touring drummer was involved in the same accident and is reported to be in intensive care.

The band annouced the devastating news on its Facebook Page. The WA rockers are in the middle of an Australia tour with 'The Good Life' released just this month.

The statement reads:

With the heaviest of hearts, we share this utterly tragic news. While in transit to our show yesterday, our Stage Manager, Shane, and Touring Drummer, Mick, were involved in an horrific car accident which killed Shane and seriously injured Mick. The band is absolutely shattered. We have returned to Melbourne to stay near Mick who is in ICU and are rescheduling the rest of this week's shows. No further decisions have been made and we will let everyone know about future shows as soon as we can. Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with Shane and Mick's Families in this time.
