Infobox added (needs a good photo), content expanded giving details of bio in sub-categories; refs added; more needed on solo years; importance low as not ARIA HoF; I have recently contributed to this article and so may be biased.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Death[edit]

Seeing the edit war going on so I thought I'd just give context - Ambrose announced at tonight's Murlocs concert in Perth that his dad had passed the night prior. Its not had a wider public announcement though, and it was an incredibly small concert - I don't know who of the few people in there decided their first move was to edit this poor man's Wikipedia page, but its some bizarre prioritisation. - ysr elle! 15:57, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's very important in a biography of a living person that claims of death are reliably sourced. This does not include first-hand accounts or hearsay. It will not hurt to wait until a reliable source is found for this. _signed,Willondon (talk) 16:05, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded, just wanted to give context to the random edit war. Although it appears friends are beginning to post tributes on Facebook, so a proper statement is probably on the horizon - ysr elle! 16:18, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Best I've found so far (time-stamped 6 seconds ago) is Noise11.com. I don't know if there's any concern of reliability with that publication, but they don't mention a date for his death. D'oh! I'm sure a good source will come along soon. _signed,Willondon (talk) 00:38, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wording[edit]
