  • How did he die? What happened?

  • there's a damn eyeball on that microphone!

  • Oh my god he's so cute and shy but SO talented! And Diablo112687 it's spelled Elliott that's how we don't mix him up with some other Elliot and I think his real name was like Paul or something but he changed it when he got older. Poor Elliott. We love you very very very much.

  • damn he did succeed in his top second failure... but WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED as"" ANOTHER PERSON AT THE BAR""<3

  • He succeeded.

  • He was too smart too sensitive to be reached. He was alone. Why was different, felt too. All the love I had inside, was overflowing, but he saw that love falls down, trampled, dirtied. He wanted to be stronger at times perhaps, according to "the canons of this world", but really could not. His soul, his music was the other way. Maybe, JUST SO MUCH LOVE could save him. Now surely that love has.

  • @matthewmwolff Oh, no, we don't get it. Elliott would have stopped, because he didn't drink and drug to party. He was trying to "kill his emotions"-- which was the only way he thought he could handle his depression. That's why the interventions didn't work. They were trying to rob him of his only way of coping. If they had targeted the illness instead of the symptoms he might have been able to stop. He's almost crying here. How loud of a cry for help do you need?
