Rozz Williams (November 6, 1963 – April 1, 1998) born Roger Alan Painter, was an American deathrock vocalist, most famous for fronting the bands Christian Death and Shadow Project, the latter with his then wife, Eva O. He is also cited as the founder of American gothic rock as well as a pioneer of deathrock.
Other musical projects he was involved in include Daucus Karota, Heltir, EXP and Premature Ejaculation. Williams also recorded several solo albums.

On 1 April 1998, Rozz was found by his roommate, Ryan, hanged in their West Hollywood apartment. A memorial was held at the El Rey Theatre shortly after his death, and a small gathering of family and friends offered his ashes to the earth at Runyon Canyon Park in the Hollywood Hills.

Gitane Demone is commonly recognized as a former member of Christian Death, but also known for her solo albums and her S/M imagery and shows.
Demone began her career on the Southern California new wave scene of the early 80s as a member of the trio Pompeii 99. The group later joined with singer Rozz Williams to make up a new incarnation of his band Christian Death, where Demone remained before relocating to Amsterdam and mounting a solo career in 1989, adopting an increasingly torchy sound .In 1995, “Dream Home Heartache” re-united Gitane DeMone and Rozz Williams after almost a decade of seperation. The duet toured extensively in Europe and North America, in support of this CD. Demone next collaborated with Mark Ickx under the banner of Demonix, issuing “Never Felt So Alive”; the solo Am I Wrong? followed in 1998.

"A glass of alcohol, a low-lit room, this album... and that bitter taste on the throat called melancholy." - so damn true.

I was lucky enough to hear Gitane do Flowers live as a dedication to Rozz. What made it realy special was that she did it unknowingly to her on April 1st. We informed her of this after the show when we were sitting around talking.
