I've yet to see any "official" confirmation, but the sources reporting this news are all very credible. It seems Paul Raven, bassist of Killing Joke, Prong, Ministry and, most recently, Mob Research (among a myriad other projects) passed away this morning quite suddenly. I'm only getting bits of information now.
I consider myself extraordinarily lucky to have met and befriended Paul back in 2000, and we'd stayed in touch ever since. I saw him last year when he cruised through town with Ministry, and he's always been an unfailingly generous and warm soul. I am deeply shocked, if not entirely incredulous, let alone profoundly saddened by this news.
Paul was a big hearted man who will be sorely missed.
