Entire boy band tragically wiped out when their car plunged into a canal


All four members of a promising British boy band, as well as their dedicated manager, lost their lives in a tragic accident – now they're commemorated in their home town

Viola Beach, who'd played at Reading and Leeds Festivals and had airtime on Radio 1, were inside a black Nissan Qashqai which drove off a bridge and landed in a Stockholm canal, 80ft below. The promising indie-rock group's members from Warrington, Cheshire – singer Kris Leonard, guitarist River Reeves, bass player Tomas Lowe and drummer Jack Dakin – as well as their manager, Craig Tarry, who was in the car with the band, all died in the horrifying accident in February 2016.
