Reports are coming in that Thievery Corporation vocalist Pam Bricker has commited suicide. At this point no cause of death has been officially confirmed, though a statement on the group’s website has announced the death.

Bricker provided vocals for two Thievery Corpoartion album, 1997’s Sounds from the Thievery Hi-Fi and 2002’s Richest Man In Babylon as well as performing live.

A statement on the Thievery Corporation website reads:

“On Sunday, February 20th we lost our long time friend and collaborator Pam Bricker. Pam has been a Thievery Corporation mainstay, (both on tour and in the studio) contributing vocals on the first three Thievery Corporation albums, most notably on the epic Thievery track ‘Lebanese Blonde’. Her class, easy-going nature, professionalism, and her distinct, beautiful voice will be eternally missed. Music fans from DC to Istanbul and everywhere in between mourn her loss, and we mourn with you. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Pam’s name to Heifer International (www.heifer.org), an organisation that she supported”.
