the sound

"On April 26th. 1999 Adrian Borland died. Adrian committed suicide in London on early Monday morning. He was right in the middle of the recording session for his new solo album "Harmony & Destruction". On Friday 23rd April, with 'Harmony and Destruction' nearly completed, he began to show signs in the studio of depression and agitation again, but promised to go home to rest before concluding work on the album on the Monday. Regardless of this agitated state, his goal was clear. He wished to finish this record, and continue to develop his career. He was extremely proud of this new work and very excited by it.

A visit to his ex-girlfriend on the Sunday, however, further tipped the balance. In the early hours of Monday 26th April, Adrian was found in a restaurant in nearby Kennington, confused and hearing voices, and was brought home in a police car. His elderly parents wanted to call a doctor, but Adrian, who had a horror of being sectioned again, insisted that he did not want to seek medical treatment until he had finished work on the album later that day. He disappeared though again that night. He had tried to commit suicide before, but this time was successful. He died later on that morning by throwing himself in front of a train at Wimbledon tube station. He was aged 41.

In summation, Adrian didn't really commit suicide, he was murdered by his illness which had troubled him since 1987 and he fought to the very end."
