The House is Less crowded

Paul Hester, most famous for his role in the drum chair for 80s stalwarts Split Enz and Crowded House, committed suicide this week. He was a solid pop drummer with a good, warm tone. Rest in Peace, Paul.

And while it is easy to think in terms of Crowded House as one-hit wonders, they did rack up several other minor US hits and stayed quite popular outside of the US long after their light dimmed Stateside. I personally liked their later albums much better.
