John Kezdy, the frontman of Chicago-based punk band The Effigies, has died at age 64. The singer lost his life after his bicycle smashed into the back of an Amazon delivery van that was parked in a bike lane in the Chicago suburb of Glencoe.
“Based on the initial investigation, the bicyclist was traveling northbound on Sheridan Road past South Avenue when he struck the rear of a stopped Dodge Ram ProMaster,” read a statement from the Glencoe Public Safety Department. The incident happened on Wednesday (August 23rd) and Kezdy succumbed to his injuries on Saturday (August 26th).
A further investigation will determine if the delivery van was illegally parked in the bike lane.
Kezdy formed The Effigies in 1980. They released three full-length albums and a few EPs in the ’80s before breaking up in 1990. They re-formed in 2004, and released another album, Reside, in 2007.
