Encore! Encore! Oh...

A troubled 19-year-old stabbed himself to death on stage at an open mic night after playing a song called Sorry For All the Mess.

Kipp Rusty Walker repeatedly plunged the six-inch blade into his chest as the audience clapped and cheered in the mistaken belief it was piece of performance art.

But when he collapsed in a pool of his own blood they started screaming in horror and rushed to help him, but his wounds were too severe and he died soon after.

the only good open mic act...

I heard about this somewhere. Stabbing yourself to death is a pretty hardcore way to commit suicide, I'll tell you what boy now howdy.

Man, good for him. If you're gonna kill yourself, make it a spectacle.

Yeah as if suicide wasn't selfish enough, let's ruin everyone else's day, too.

Fuck you, kt

man, he actually died on stage

yeah i said it. yeah it was obvious. yeah i couldnt give a fuck.

Walker took his own life at the Strictly Organic Coffee Company in front of around 15 people during its open mic night.

15 people? Hardly a crowd. He could have got a much wider audience with a bit of planning and a decent myspace.

He probably WAS using Myspace and that's why he only pulled 15 people.

no, you couldnt get ALL of myspace to turn up. they were probably just hobos.

Tom is probably a hobo by now anyway.

I actually have no sympathy for people who commit suicide. It's a very selfish act, as Atmosfear said. It's a mean thing to do to the people who love you.

Also, someone has to clean that shit up.

Yeah, because longterm clinical depression really leads to empathy for other people.

I think more people need to commit suicide. Sadly, it's usually the wrong people who do it.

I just want to know if his music was any good.

probably not

He may be dead, but he will live on forever as vague references and song topics in grunge band line-ups for decades to come.
