Blue J Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I've only known of Riverside from people on TRF posting about them, but I've never actually heard them before. They're on my list of bands I've meant to check out. Sad news indeed. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Tragic news. I have been a Riverside fan for a number of years and finally got to see them a few months ago on their recent U.S. tour. He was a fantastic player. If you're not familiar with Riverside you should check them out. Excellent band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Any idea what happened? Cant find much about it yet on web He had been in and out of hospital for undisclosed testing...(asking for prayers, etc). Had been doing gigs until very recently and just appeared at a Winery Dogs show LAST NIGHT according to Portnoy. So the end was very sudden. No news on what had been ailing him or the cause of his death this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Sad. Love, Fear, and the Time Machine was one of my favorite albums of last year. Haven't gone beyond that album unfortunately, but I'm gonna check out their older stuff cause I really loved their latest LP. RIP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) I was mistaken too. It was the band's drummer (another Piotr) who had previously been in and out of hospital and ill, so this really was a shock. Maybe an accident? Apologies for the error. I had just assumed it was the Piotr who had been ill already... Edited February 21, 2016 by Presto-digitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnify Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 So incredibly shocking and sad... I saw Riverside's announcement post first, then Anathema and Portnoy's posts. One of my favorite releases of last year and I've enjoyed digging into their back catalog with new ears - Piotr had such a tasteful and emotional approach to his playing. RIP Piotr.

NEWS / JERRY EWING / 21 FEB 201631 SHARESMOREPiotr Grudzinski Passes Away Aged 40Riverside guitarist Piotr Grudzinski has died, according to a statement on the Polish band's website. In a short statement the band simply say: "In our deepest pain and disbelief we would like to inform you that our dearest friend and brother Piotr Grudzinski has passed away this morning. We kindly ask you to respect the privacy of his family and friends." The band had been preparing for a Polish tour with support acts Lion Shepherd and Sounds Like The End Of The World. They are also booked to headline this year's RoSFest on the Saturday night. There are no further details as yet, although unconfirmed reports online suggest Grudzinski had attended a show by The Winery Dogs in Warsaw last night ------------------ I'm absolutely gutted.
