DOB Unknown – August 20, 2010
Charles Haddon was the front man for up-and-coming English synth-pop band, Ou Est Le Swimming Pool. Formed in 2009, the band released one album, Christ Died For Our Synths, which spawned three moderately popular singles. One of which, “Dance The Way I Feel,” hit the top 20 in Australia, and the top 10 in England. On August 20, 2010, the 22-year-old Haddon apparently jumped to his death from a high tower following Ou Est Le Swimming Pool’s performance at the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium. Some have speculated that he may have been distraught after severely injuring a fan during a stage dive in their earlier set. Michael Been of The Call suffered a fatal heart attack on the previous day of the festival.
