Nearly two months after Tickle Me Pink bassist, Johnny Schou, was found dead at 22, a coroner has confirmed the cause of death ...



According to Examiner, toxicology reports indicate that Schou died of a heroin overdose. Singer Sean Kennedy recently spoke with Ultimate-Guitar about Schou's passing and the future of Tickle Me Pink. "We have had to do some major soul searching as a band. We not only have lost a band member, but our best friend. The process is just beginning. We will never be able to replace Johnny, but through this tragedy we have all grown even closer together and are going to make him proud," Kennedy explained. 

The band is about to start the second leg of their tour with Scary Kids Scaring Kids and Finch and have released a music video for the single "Typical" off their debut full-length, Madeline (released the same day as Schou's passing).
