Difference between revisions of "Jeff Ward"

Revision as of 19:51, 29 November 2008

Jeff Ward (November 1962–March 19, 1993) toured with Nine Inch Nails briefly in their early days. He had also worked with Ministry (with them notable singing lots of vocals in the song Breathe), Lard, Low Pop Suicide, and Revolting Cocks, among others. He was an extremely buff guy, and had a country cowboy meets flava flav-jewelry type look. On stage sometimes he also had a Paul Bunyan/Norweigen style look. Seriously, he weighed about 310 lbs. and it was all pure muscle. He was just a little shorter than Trent Reznor.

Sadly, Ward died in 1993 of self-induced carbon monoxide poisoning after a long struggle with heroin addiction. Before this it was reported he killed his wife. The Downward Spiral contains a dedication to him in its liner notes.
