    SYDNEY, Australia - The drummer from 1980s Australian rock band Crowded House hanged himself in a park in southern Australia, an emergency services spokeswoman said Monday


    Paul Hester, 46, went missing on Friday. His body was found Saturday in a park near his home in the southern city of Melbourne, said Metropolitan Ambulance Service spokeswoman Liraje Memishi.


    Hester played in several small bands before joining the New Zealand group Split Enz in 1983. He and Split Enz singer Neil Finn (news) formed Crowded House in 1985 with bass player Nick Seymour.


    Crowded House was one of Australia's most successful bands in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with international hits such as "Don't Dream it's Over" and "Weather with You."

    Don't Dream It's Over is one of my favorite songs of the 80's generation. :(
