It is understandable that the fans now have many questions. There are more and more expressions of condolence online – coupled with bewilderment that the artist is no longer with us. Why Andy Fletcher died so suddenly is currently still private. Neither the band nor a spokesman for the group has officially commented on the cause of death.
Only the AMERICAN ROLLING STONE learned from sources close to him that he died of natural causes. Will more information be released to the public in the coming days? It is up to the relatives to decide.
As recently as April 2022, Andy Fletcher had a bicycle accident in Barcelona that broke his wrist. His wife Grainne had posted a photo of her husband with a cast in the hospital over Easter.
Apparently, the musician hadn’t happened in the fall.
