Australian rock star Andrew Picouleau has died after a battle with a “serious” illness. His The Metronomes bandmate Alister Webb confirmed the news in a post on Facebook on October 16. “It is with deep sadness and profound heartbreak that we find ourselves posting the news that Andrew Picouleau, gifted bass player, musical creative and wonderful singer, passed away this week after a long illness,” Webb said in a statement. No further details about the illness were revealed.
” Webb said Picouleau was “one of the smartest, most amiable and intelligent individuals I’ve come across in my life”. “I always looked forward to the video hookups the three of us had,” he said. “Three separate souls, but when we were in the same space, we just...well, blended. I know Ash is feeling this as painfully as I am.” Webb formed The Metronomes in 1979 in Melbourne, alongside Picouleau as bass player and Wednesday on synth.
