British Pop SingerCharles Haddon Dies at 22
22 years of age is entirely too young to die. Is the price of sudden fame worth it the end?
The UK Telegraph reports that Charles Haddon, frontman of electropop trio Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, leapt to his death from a telecommunications mast behind the main stage at the Pukkelpop festival, police in Belgium said.
The 22-year-old fell to the car park below and was pronounced dead late on Friday night.

Police are treating the death as suicide, district attorney Marc Rubens said.
