[RussAimz]

RIP James. Thanks for the great memories of hearing this brilliant song in the mornings at school. What a start to the day. Love your look

Hard to convey the significance of this sweet pop song at the time. Most other Australian groups were doing ROCK (AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Rose Tattoo etc.) or crap pop (Billy Field was one of the big acts of the time). Then...this comes out. Melodic and uplifting. He had a unique, international style, and it should have been a hit all over the world.

[DocBrewster]

RIP - tortured soul.

[hbg1968]

CUT LUNCH was a seminal record for me as a kid verging on his teens discovering grown up pop music.

Sorry to hear of your leaving us James. Thanks for the tunes. I hope you're at peace.

RIP James.

Rest in Peace James - another talent lost to depression and alcoholism. We lost Paul Hester at 46, 5 years ago and now James. So very sad, thanks so very much for the music.

Today 4th November 2010 James Freud, singer with Australian rock band Models, has died. The 51 year old was found by his family at his home in Melbourne Australia this morning. According to unconfirmed reports the musician committed suicide.

RIP James.

[TheStevieGG]

Read his 1st book and it was hilarious (Gary Neuman, "Cars", farts, hamburgers) and sad. Remember thinking that Models didnt have lots of hits but damn, they had tunes. 'Hold On' is still the most uplifting tune. James.........words fail me. You and your music defined my teenage years and for that I personally thank you mate. A true rock star, cheers,

[TheStevieGG]

Gee, I remember bouncing around in the living room as a kid to this on Countdown and LOVING it. Today's news was a 'WTF' moment, and I dont shock easily. After reading his 1st book it answered a lot of questions and makes me value those family hols to Coffs Harbour with "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" with only one tape in the car..........and sitting through those extended mixes :-) I dont care about them as James gave us some of the most amazing tunes......

[gtirihu]
