Devon Clifford

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland (AP) - Drummer Devon Clifford of the band You Say Party! We Say Die! has died of a massive brain hemorrhage, the band's publicist said. He was 30.

The band was playing a show on Friday night at Vancouver's Rickshaw Theatre when Clifford suddenly collapsed, his family said in a statement released by publicist Darryl Weeks.

Clifford fell into a coma and doctors performed surgery but were unable to save him, the statement said, adding that the hemorrhage was the result of congenital defects.

The dance-punk band released their third full-length album, "XXXX," in September and was due to embark on a European tour later this month.
