No DoubtThe three came up with the idea while working together at Dairy Queen.[2] Spence, who named the band after his favorite expression, took on the role of lead vocalist, with Eric playing keyboard. Spence was known as an energetic frontman, doing backflips and wild screams on the stage.[3] DeathOn December 21, 1987, at the age of 18, Spence committed suicide by shooting himself with a gun in a deserted parking lot located in Anaheim, California.[4] The band found out about his death a few days before they were set to play a show at The Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. AftermathAfter the Roxy show, the remaining members of the band announced their breakup. Several days later they decided to continue playing instead, and some time later Gwen became the new lead singer.[5] The band briefly replaced Spence after his death with a member of their horn section, Alan Meade, but Meade left the band shortly thereafter. During his short time as lead singer, Meade wrote the song "Dear John" about Spence. This recording is very rare, and was featured fifth of five songs on a demo tape the band recorded in 1988 and sold at their performances. In the booklet for No Doubt's 1992 self-titled release, the dedication page states that the album is dedicated to Spence, and includes a cartoon of him performing his signature flip and scream. The song "Move On" refers to his death with the line "5 reached the side/One step below zen".[6] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=y8QsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=zx4EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6046,715857&dq=john+spence+no+doubt&hl=en|title=Despite Tough Past, There's No Doubt About Band's Return|last=Moore|first=Sarah|work=Star-News|accessdate=25 February 2012}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.rttnews.com/story.aspx?ID=1576233&SM=1|title=Look Back: No Doubt Release Debut Album 19 Years Ago|date=March 17, 2011|work=RTT News|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|accessdate=25 February 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Never a Doubt|date=April 5, 2002|work=The Detroit News}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Band has endured a long, arduous climb to the palace of pop-music success|last=Peterson|first=Karla|date=May 29, 1997|work=San Diego Union}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.accesshollywood.com/gwen-stefani|title=Gwen Stefani Bio|accessdate=25 February 2012}} 6. ^{{cite book|title=No Doubt CD Booklet|year=1992}} External links{{No Doubt}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Spence, John}} 10 : 1969 births|1987 deaths|American rock singers|No Doubt members|American musicians who committed suicide|Suicides by firearm in California|Musicians from Anaheim, California|African-American musicians|20th-century American singers|Male suicides |
