Bryan St Pere, Hum drummer has died at the age of 52, and this was according to his band mates.
The sad news of the death of Bryan St Pere was announced by Matt Talbott, Tim Lash, and Jeff Dimpsey, in a statement shared on social media on Thursday.
“It is with very heavy hearts and tear filled eyes that we share the news that our beloved friend and bandmate, Bryan St Pere, has passed away.” the statement began.
“We are devastated and deeply saddened by his sudden, and unexpected passing. Bryan was a dear friend, a loving father, brother, and was an incredible person and musician,” the band continued. “We all feel extremely lucky to have shared time and space with him.”
“Peace and love to all who knew Bryan, and those he touched,” they concluded. “We will miss him dearly.”

Hum was co-founded by Talbott in 1989. St. Pere joined the Illinois rock group a year later after the departure of its founding drummer, Jeff Kropp.
The band released their first studio album, Fillet Show, in 1991 and — following a slight change in lineup with the addition of Lash and Dimpsey — their second album, Electra 2000, in 1993.
In 1995, the quartet found commercial success with “Stars,” which was released as a second single from their third album, You’d Prefer an Astronaut.
Hum released one more album, 1998’s Downward Is Heavenward, before they disbanded as a group.
