Description

After a performance in Houston in which Hoon was not proud of, Hoon launched into an all-night drug binge. The next day, on October 21, 1995, Blind Melon was scheduled to play a show in New Orleans at Tipitina's. When one of the band's roadies went to the tour bus to wake Hoon up for a sound check, he was unable to wake him. An ambulance was summoned and Hoon was pronounced dead on the scene, at the age of 28. The cause of death was attributed to a drug overdose.

Hoon was buried in Dayton, Indiana; his grave is inscribed with the words to the first song he wrote, Change:

" I know we can't all stay here forever
So I want to write my words on the face of today And they'll paint it"
