Paul Hester - Wipeout RocKwiz

[@rupertgrech7097]

I owned a cafe in Lithgow, Blue Mts, NSW, Australia. Paul Hester was playing in a band that was supporting INXS at the local main venue. It was the year before INXS went to America and became huge. He called in and had a meal. We chatted and he asked if I was coming to the show that night. I didn’t want to offend him so I lied and said I did but that I thought it was sold out. He took my name and said just give your name at the door and bring a friend. What a nice guy. And it was a great show, but to my embarrassment, the crowd were impatient to hear INXS and was not nice to his band. RIP.

A beautiful soul❤ RIP Hessie.

He is so very missed. So very missed.

Who would have known someone who appears so full of joy on the outside could be in so much pain on the inside. 💔

[@rupertgrech7097]

Andjulia I blame the greedy bastard who sued Men at Work and the judge who had no idea of music tradition.

[@johnkuipers7829]

It's a way of covering up pain. So no one knows.

[@Mumscup]

Joy.

[@Diorella_scent]

Paulo, I will never stop missing you. Life is that little bit greyer without you in it. So very grateful to have had a hug with you after a show. Thank you for you and RIP Hessie xxx

[@heatherdaydream]

Australia's finest drummer and warm hearted man. RIP Paul

[@shmoopie1812]

I feel so sad that this guy is no longer around. How bad must he have felt to end his life ? What a loss to the world of music not to mention his family and friends. I saw him live in the best show ever at Bradford St Georges Hall in 1994. Missed but still loved.

[@brisneylander]

Somehow, the world is a better place for having had people like Paul Hester around. Rest in peace.

[@johnkuipers7829]

How can you R.I.P. if you are dead? I am so sick of these comments.

[@13Palmerston]

R.I.P. Hessie. I spent some time in Elsternwick Park last week and sat for a while near where you left this world. I also suffer from depression and it terrifies me I'll get to that point. I truly hope you've found peace from those Demonds mate.

[@TGelement4lifejhc]

Classic Paul. Miss you mate. RIP

[@pfinger18]

I miss him so. He was such a funny guy.I remember rushing home every afternoon to listen to 'Martin Molloy'. Paul was often on and the three of them used to have me in stiches :) Thankyou for posting this video :)

[@abc321ish]

[@abc321ish]

i will never forget Paul still miss him WHY he did it we will never know

[@johnkuipers7829]

Suffer with depression for 20 years you'll know Karren.

[@Bethfromwigan]

What happened to Paul is so sad. I know someone personally that has Bipolar Disorder, like Paul had, so I understand what he went through.

[@Bethfromwigan]

I'm going to see crowded house live for the first time in afew weeks. i really wish paul was going to be with them !. it makes me wonder if he would have been if he were still alive ?.

[@Bethfromwigan]

i saw crowded house in concert last week. i wonder if paul would have reunited with crowded house if he had still been alive ?. i thought of paul a lot during the show, and kept wondering what it would have been like if he had been there. i wish i could have met him too. i would have tried to meet him and the rest of the band after the show... i wonder what made him feel so depressed towards the end and what pushed him to do what he did ? .... it's so sad

[@delgado2010]

adios

[@Bethfromwigan]

did he really die the day after this was recorded ?!. he looked so happy on the show !. i've seen the whole show as it's posted here on youtube.

[@russoswerve3974]

No it was two weeks after this he died

[@13Palmerston]

phillo555. Wise amd greatly appreciated words mate. Very much appreciate your message and will take that walk you suggested. Supportive words from total strangers go a long way. Thanks again. I'm doing ok.

[@pymats]

RIP hester the jester, depression - what the hell can we do about it?

[@EndlessNot1]

@agrealis that date is wrong because he died on March 26th 2005

[@bluebellrock]

Hope you're RIP-ing. Or DIP-ing.

[@Nikkisixty1]

Please, don't take depression so seriously......go get some help....from someone who has been touched by 'it'.
