David Reilly, Former God Lives Underwater Frontman, Dead at 34

David Reilly, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and former vocalist for the band God Lives Underwater, died Sunday at the age of 34 from complications of long-standing stomach problems -- an untreated infection -- according to a Corporate Punishment Records statement:

Corporate Punishment resident, Thom Hazaert, (affectionately dubbed “the Rooster” by Reilly)... spent a big chunk of the past few years serving as Reilly’s manager, most recently serving as a management and creative consultant.

“I am honored and humbled to have had the chance to work with someone like him, an amazing artist and visionary, who in my eyes will always be one of the most talented people to ever walk the Earth,” says Hazaert. “David will remain forever in our hearts and will be sorely missed by everyone at CPR.”

Reilly had spent much time in recent years speaking out about his longtime bout with substance abuse. He was 34.
God Lives Underwater had a hit in 1998 with "From Your Mouth". Their most recent album was 2004's Up Off the Floor. Last year also saw the release of Reilly's debut solo EP, Inside.
