Nell Smith, whose blossoming music résumé included collaborating with The Flaming Lips when she was just 14, has died. She was 17.
Simon Raymonde, the head of Bella Union, the record label planning to release Nell's upcoming solo album, announced her death on Monday, Oct. 7.
"We are all shocked and devastated to hear of the sudden and tragic passing of our artist and dear friend Nell Smith, over the weekend in British Columbia," Raymonde wrote on Instagram. "Nell was just 17 and was preparing for the release of her first solo record in early 2025 on Bella Union, made in Brighton with Penelope Isles’ Jack and Lily Wolter. Her first release was an album of covers of Nick Cave songs recorded with fellow Bella Union artistes The Flaming Lips back in 2021 entitled, 'Where The Viaduct Looms.' "

Is how she died a mystery? They do not mention it, but dying at 17 is not a normal.

he Flaming Lips are calling on fans for help after instrumentalist Steven Drozd’s daughter went missing.
Both Drozd himself and frontman Wayne Coyne took to their social media pages on Monday (Oct. 7) to share a missing person poster of 16-year-old Charlotte “Bowie” Drozd, who has been missing since around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. According to the posts, Bowie was last seen on the monorail in Seattle, Washington, near the Space Needle.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Seattle Police Department at 206-625-5011 or call Bowie’s mother, Becky.

Awful news but again, my first inclination goes to fentanyl OD.
Also, I'm not making fun of the situation if anyone assumes I am. It's legit the first thought I have when you see nearly any young person missing/lost... And in the Pacific NW, it's ridiculous how much of the shite is flowing through there. What we do to drug pushers in this country isn't enough. Dealers should be catching automatic life sentences on the reg.

also consider that her dad Drodz was a raging heroin addict before successfully getting clean.
