I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I can share with all you SP members that a friend of Ant’s confirmed his departure.
R.I.P. Ant, you leave us your words, music, and special sense of humor. Wish we could have made you stay with us a little longer, though.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet primce, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
Amen.
Well if he really did go then it is sad. I don’t know what his age was but from his pic he looked young. Well I hope he is resting in peace. I hope he didst suffer much. I hope he is truly resting in peace.
He was 33 years young as he used to say.
I’ll believe it when I read the obit.
Yeah, I am with you HDS. I am not so sure of this yet.
I’m also doubting the possibility of this one. Although, his last youtube post is only a week old. I guess it is possible he could’ve died between May 25-29.
I wish this hadn’t gotten posted. At least not without definately proof. There are a lot of folks tjis may negatively impact. Tjis is just one gals opinion though and in no way gospel.
Plus nothing in the UK papers.
This is a sad day for me. Ant was always commented on my posts. Always had a sense of humor, love in his heart and also a lot of pain. I hope you find your peace in heaven. God rest your soul.
There is no evidence that person commenting on his fb page knows a damn thing. Ants fb has no friends and a lot of followers. If he really was gone I would think there would be a hell of a lot more traffic.
I hope you are right. He hadn’t posted anything in days and we were all wondering were is he.
I didn’t realize Ant had a fanbase. I just thought he was an amateur trying to get big while thinking money would cure depression…
Would it be inappropriate for someone from here to call him? I don’t know how well those here knew him.
Not sure mysterious. If he gave his number to someone then it is for the purpose of use however finding it yourself might be a violation of his privacy.
Well, he listed it online. I’m not saying that makes it appropriate to call him, and I’m not going to post the number here, I am simply saying that it’s not a private number.
I’d day if you feel okay about it and are respectful there isn’t an issue. He is fairly open about who he is online. It might explain how the cops got sent to his home. He’s pretty open. But that is just my take on the situation.
I REALLY hope I am wrong. Although I did IM with somebody in his friends list, I hope it was just a bad cruel joke. I can’t reveal my sources, but I did do a deep search before posting this.
I WILL BE DELETING THIS POST TONIGHT, just so you are aware.
No don’t delete it. Leave it up. Let’s get a second source. He means a lot to more than a few people here.
I believe you. I can’t do any deep searches until tonight. I’d like to know if there will be a memorial service or something if it is indeed true.
HDS, email me.

Ah fuck! I knew his date was the fist if June. His birthday right.. so sad. If it’s true I hope he finds the peace he was after.
The first of June. Not fist sorry. Atuocorrect.
It may be true we are doing some more verifications. If it is true it is sad indeed and makes me extremely introspective about what I’m doing with my own life.
It looks like that visit from the cops sort of precipitated things for him, instead of helping.
What a waste of talent…
Well Ant, you will be missed by many.
Makes me think long and hard today about how I interact with folks here. Calling out the troops sometimes isn’t the best action.
FTR I didn’t call the cops nor would I ever violate anyone’s privacy in that way.
Not sure why, but this reminded me of “Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye” from the OST of Phantom of the Paradise…

I apologize if I offended, upset, or in anyway troubled anyone with this post. But given the following that ANT had on here, and the fact that some were wondering about his well being, I decided to post this.
I must say that I do have more information, but there is only so much I find appropriate to share on here.

Wow. I don’t know how to feel.
Like everyone above, I’m going to wait for more information first. But I don’t have a good feeling about this.
I think he is probably still alive.
but who knows at this point.
It’s a shame if he died… I don’t really know anything about him, but he was a very talented singer. He could have become famous.
If I find anything definately like an obit I will respectfully post it here. Until then I will cease speculation.
No disrespect but i don’t believe anything unless i see it for myself, is it possible? yes, he was ready to do it, he wasn’t happy, if he did do it, he’s fine now.
It’s alright, rocketman. As many of us say often, “never lose hope”, right? Take care.
I did discover this a couple days ago. Wasn’t sure if/how much to say. I also believe that the visit from the cops may have caused him to act out of panic. But of course, we won’t know 100% unless/until we see it confirmed.
If you are really gone, rest in peace bro. May the pain end for you and not just pass on to the next.
@Those reaching out to me: I don’t have any updates on this. At this point, if he did make his final exit, let’s wait and leave it up to his family to make it official.
