King Coleman

Bio:

We regret to inform you that very sadly, King Coleman passed away yesterday morning September 11, 2010 in Miami at a hospice he was staying at. He died in the early morning hours of heart failure. We'll share more information as we get it.

This IS the official King Coleman page... NOT just a profile put up by a fan! While he was still with us, King received all messages sent to him and all comments left here. Thanks for everyone for coming to our shows and great bands like The Dirtbombs, Blowfly, Monarchy 5, the Woggles, the Delusionaires for playing and/or touring with us! Also a great deal of thanks goes to Billy and Miriam at Norton Records as well as the staff and DJs of WFMU, as well as all the fans and enthusiasts who loved King Coleman's music and all the friends and family who loved the man. As King himself always said, "Nothin' but love!"

"After performances from a few local punk/rock bands, King Coleman & The Creepy T's hit the stage and put on a very entertaining and refreshing change of pace show that everyone seemed to enjoy. Very professional and well executed.
