Andy Parle
DOB Unknown – August 1, 2009
Andy Parle is best remembered as the founding drummer for British pop band, Space. Formed in 1993, Space had several UK hits including their biggest, “Female Of The Species.” Thanks to college radio and MTV, the band stirred some interest in the US, but a 1997 tour failed to capitalize upon it. Parle left the band the following year. Published reports indicate that Parle collapsed for no apparent reason while crossing a Liverpool street after leaving a local pub near midnight. Cause of death was not immediately released. He was 42.
