Dischord Records is reporting the sad news that drummer Sean Finnegan of Void passed away on Wednesday January 30th from an apparent heart attack. Sean played with the early hardcore act while the band was active from 1980 to 1983, and was most recently working on the set of HBO show The Wire.
Sean's family will receive friends today from 2 to 5 and 7 to 9 PM at Harry H. Witzke's Family Funeral Home in Ellicott City, Maryland. In lieu of flowers his family ask that donations may be made to the Fisher House at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Our deepest condolences to Sean's friends and family.

This is the first time where I've read a punknews obituary and been truly upset. What a fucking great band. 43...Jesus. Although I didn't know Mr. Finnegan, he will be missed. Tragic.

Sad news. Void was a great band too. Anyone know what he did on The Wire? I love that show but I don't have HBO and have only seen through season 3. 1+ Reply
