Tragic! Australian Idol Judge Found Dead At 36-Years-Old
Way too young.
36-year-old Australian Idol judge Jay Dee Springbett, who also served as an A&R exec at Sony Music for over six years, was found dead in his Sydney apartment last night.
According to police, Springbett's death is "not suspicious."
Here's what Sony Music Entertainment Australia and New Zealand CEO Denis Handlin had to say about Jay:
"Jay Dee was so very enthusiastic and passionate about his family, his music projects and his plans for the future. [He] was a great friend and larger-than-life charismatic character who will be missed enormously."
We're so sad to hear about this, but at least we're glad to hear that police don't seem to suspect foul play.
Our thoughts go out to Jay Dee's family, friends, and peers during this incredibly difficult time. Such a tragedy.
