Ou Est Le Swimming Pool to release album as planned
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 27 August 2010
Ou Est Le Swimming Pool have announced that they will hold to the planned release schedule for their debut album, ‘The Golden Year’, following the suicide of frontman Charles Haddon last week.
As previously reported, Haddon committed suicide at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium last Friday. He was 22.
A statement issued yesterday read: “Despite the tragic loss of lead singer Charles Haddon last week, Ou Est Le Swimming Pool confirm that their debut album ‘The Golden Year’ will still be released worldwide on 3 Oct 2010. After speaking with the late Charles Haddon’s family, remaining band members Joe Hutchinson and Caan Capan have decided to proceed with the original schedule for the release of the record as they had planned prior to Haddon’s death. In further accordance with Charles and the band’s wishes, the album will be followed by the single ‘The Key’ on 10 Oct”.
It added: “Joe and Caan would like to thank everyone for their incredible support and best wishes during this extremely difficult time and ask that their privacy now be respected whilst they take some time away”.
