Apparently, it seems true, sadly. Jeff Buckley, who wrote "Faith Salons" and headlined a tour in 1994 with Brenda Kahn as the opening act, has apparently drowned in a swimming mishap. Here is an excerpt from a release put out by Columbia Records: JEFF BUCKLEY STILL MISSING AS SEARCH CONTINUES FAMILY AND FRIENDS BELIEVE HE HAS DROWNED Jeff Buckley is still missing after swimming in a Memphis, Tennessee marina at approximately 9 p.m. last Thursday (May 29th). An extensive search of the area began at 10 that night and has continued, with Memphis authorities utilizing boats, horse and foot patrols, helicopters and scuba divers in an attempt to locate Jeff. While Jeff is still officially listed as missing, his family, close friends and advisors believe that he has drowned. He was 30 years old. ------------------------------ End of bklist-digest V1 #51 ***************************
