Thank you very much for sharing this documentation, I vividly remember the date back in June 1989 when his death was reported, is being driven in a car with others and remember being deeply depressed everyone else I was with really didn't know who he was
I never knew much about PETE. only i thought he was absolutely gorgous then the rest .+2nd EAN. I never knew he died so young .Rest In Peace PETE🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐💐GODBLESS YOU AMEN
Thank you very much,, Johno!I have been a fan of EATB since summer 1986 & saw them play live in 1987 twice (i.e., with Pete de Freitas)… 👍😊 One of the greatest drummers worldwide, ever IMHO… I saw EATB perform live many more times. However, that was without drummer Pete (unfortunately)…
Superb band 'Heaven Up Here' Subliminal. .I love 'All My Colours' and 'Turquoise Days' heartbreakingly sad about Peter I rode huge motorcycles for years and lost a dear friend at 22 in a motorcycle accident in 1992 ..You got to see them...they are a superb band. One of my favourites. Please like and Subscribe to my Channel....to help it grow.. it is free by the way...hope you enjoyed the video.. thank you for watching 👀 😀 🙏
I consider EATB one of the 6 greatest bands ever (with The Beatles,The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley,David Bowie). The 4 greatestCDs ever, IMHO, are: Joahn Lennon’s songs of 1980, Elvis Presley’s songs of 1970, HUH & Ocean Rain by EATB. The 5th CD could be the debut album of The Velvet Underground (with Nico), the debut album by The Doors or Ziggy Stardust by David Bowie (1972, Low of 1977 is famtastic as well)… I am sorry to read about your friend losing their life at the age of 22… 🥲 Just now, I ‘Liked’ and subscribed… Would a similar video about Ian Curyis of JD be possible…? 🤔 All the best to you, Johno!,
Peter played on the Bunnymen's 1st 5 Albums...there 2nd Album ' Heaven Up Here' is a belter.. the tracks 'All My Colours' and 'Turquoise Days' awesome ! Thanks for watching 👀 Bells....Really sad.. 27 Club Again !
@@johnosgraveyardjaunts2235 I use to reside a few house's up from Pete Dr Frietas parents home! It was called "Heiroun" I think? Back in the 80s! I remember delivering the midweek papers there at 13 years old in 1987!
@TinaLouise73 that's so interesting..thank u 4 sharing.. did you know Peter ? 😏 so sad about his death...another member of the 27th Club..I am guessing you are very posh 😀 😄
Does anyone know how Pete came to be in the Bunnymen? - I've done a bit of a search but never found anything. - Was he in living in Liverpool beforehand? If so why? - Or was he introduced? if so he must have already been a 'known' drummer, but nothing about previous bands. - I'm curious as he comes from such a different background than the rest of the band how did they hook up?
Thank u lovely 😍 I am off to for a guided tour of Highgate Cemetery in a couple of weeks...it is an awesome Cemetery..if you want to come along you are more than welcome 🙏 I can meet u at the Cemetery Gates
@stephenwilliams926 thank u..I did not know the circumstances..Pete was a great Drummer and part of a great band...taken far too soon..I love the Bunnymen ' Heaven Up Here' Subliminal Album

Good question...not sure...a really talented Drummer.. such a sad loss at 27 too 😢 😞
Pete's parents' graves look like they are 100 years old instead of 24 years old !
I know. So sad Peter died before them at just 27 years old. What an incredibly sad loss of an amazing talent

The bike was not to claim his life it was the silly old duffer in the Citeron that claimed his life.
I didn't realise it was another person's fault...A great loss to Music....heartbreakingly sad 😢
If I remember the old fella driving the car had dementia .
@stephenwilliams926 thank u..I did not know the circumstances..Pete was a great Drummer and part of a great band...taken far too soon..I love the Bunnymen ' Heaven Up Here' Subliminal Album
Pete didn't get married.
I don't think he did
At 3:53 you stated that Peter “married”
