SWMarch 27th is seven years since a drunk driver killed Stephen Fitzpatrick, Audun Laading and their manager Trevor Engelbrektson. A few hours after they had concluded their live performance in Phoenix, Arizona, they were driving to Santa Ana, California for the final leg of their second North American tour before returning to the United Kingdom when a drunk driver merged into their lane and fatally collided head-on with their van.
Ste and Audun were two extraordinarily kind, genuine and outgoing people. They created their band ‘Hers’ in 2015. They were only beginning their music career, and had years of exploration, growth, and ambition that would have given them it all.
I see people all the time discovering Her’s. Their loss still impacts people years after their time ended, because we all know they should be here, creating and loving. They were especially loved in their town of Liverpool. Neither of them were actually from there, but they met there and began placing their roots. They were noticed on streets and in bars because they were as good of people as they were musicians.
Drunk driving kills, distracted driving kills and I pray people learn to stop getting behind the wheel when impaired. Even if you know the road, even if home is close. Dont drive drunk. Call somebody, call an uber or walk.
for my love Angelina I love you so much ❤️ and Arianna and Dea my darlings ❤️❤️
