November 5, 1970 – June 14, 1996
Matthew Fletcher was the drummer and primary songwriter for late ’80s British pop band, Talulah Gosh, which morphed into twee punk band, Heavenly in 1989. Both bands had solid fan bases thanks in part to their “Ramones meets Ronettes” sound. Heavenly released three albums for the hip label, Sarah Records, and were about to release their fourth when Sarah closed. Matthew Fletcher committed suicide shortly before the release of that album. He was just 25.
