Madrugada guitarist is dead



Here is Madrugada's Press statement:

"Our beloved friend, Robert Burås, passed away 12.07.07. He was 31 years old.

Robert dedicated his life to the music. He was the guitarist and songwriter in Madrugada for 12 years. This last year he spent on his own band My Midnight Creeps, in addition to writing new songs and recording a new Madrugada-album.

Robert passed away when he was at the peak of his craft. Through his work on albums, stages abroad and at home he has left his mark on Norwegian rock history.

All those who worked with Robert will remember him as a generous and warm human beeing who lived and breathed for the music. There are many of us who loved Robert and is having a tough time now. Robert Will always be a part of us, and will always be missed.

Our thoughts go out to his family. We ask that his family and friends will get some peace in their grief."

 

This is so sad. Madrugada was one of the best bands not only in Norway, but the world, at least to me.
