Daniel Cho, Cellist for Regina Spektor, Reportedly Drowns in Lake Geneva

We were priveledged to see their Montreux show - and it certainly affected us. Raw and honest. Sad. A tribute to their spirit. Thank you.

Dan has been a family friend for many years, We watched his wife grow up as wonderful gal, his wife & daughter will no doubt survive this with the grace of god.
God Rest, God Bless, Dan.

My sorrow for his family and for Regina. We don't know why this happens but it does. I wish his family strength to somehow get through this and Regina, you are so brave. Daniel no doubt enjoyed the concert from above.

Cho was a personal friend of mine for many years. We played music together, worked on projects together (he paid with a memorable dinner at a top NYC steakhouse on one occasion).. played at my wedding.

He was hilarious (to say the least), humble & one of the few people who actually reach for their dreams & succeed. A fine, fine musician... didn't seem to care if you were Regina Spektor or Joe from down the block.. he'd hit those cello or piano parts the same either way.

I'm glad to see there's some press coverage on this. I'm sure his wife & young daughter will one day read these & take comfort in the positive comments about the impact Dan had on people who he didn't know personally.

I was at the gig in Montreux. It was really sad, and the audience was unsure how to react. Mostly supportive, but also keen to hear Regina play. She broke down in a couple of songs and played a mostly reflective, sombre set, only a little like the one in Bonnaroo. The violinist did a tribute piece to Cho and the whole thing gfelt like a wake.

It was hot down in Montreux, but the climate is pleasant when warm and you don't really need aircon. People swim in the lake all the time because it is refreshing, enjoyable and unbelievably scenic. Lake Geneva is unbelievably beautiful and mostly very safe to swim in. I can't conjecture about what caused Cho's death - it would be harsh to attribute alcohol although that is sadly often a contributory factor.

The day after the gig I was up early down at the Lakeside and the police were pulling a body out. Don't know if it was Cho's. But it was creepy knowing he had died in the lake only a couple of days earlier.

Such a shame for the world to lose such a talented musician... Condolences... RIP

There is a need to know how it happened. Maybe it can be prevented from happening again. Learn from others mistakes.

People who make obvious stupid statements like the first on this board are only out for attention. IGNORE the moron and stay focused on the subject....when such an awesome talent is lost, we all lose something but his family has lost evern more! May they find comfort and peace at this time as they come to terms with losing such a loved person and musician. May GOD be with you in your time of loss.

Seriously, what a complete insensitive a-hole!! Steve is!!

Cho will be missed terribly, a brilliant muscian and good hearted person!!

You are a "richard"!!!!!
