Date of Death

Could people please stop try and add a death date, as it hasn't been revealed yet. The only thing we know is that he died in his sleep "over the weekend", as mentioned in the official statement by his wife on his personal website :

Eric Carmen
(1949-2024)
It is with tremendous sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Eric Carmen.
Our sweet, loving and talented Eric passed away in his sleep, over the weekend.
It brought him great joy to know, that for decades, his music touched so many and will be his lasting legacy.
Please respect the family’s privacy as we mourn our enormous loss.
“Love Is All That Matters...Faithful and Forever”
—Amy Carmen

Five months later, still an ongoing issue and the subject of repeated edits and undos. Sullidav (talk) 13:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He supported Trump

NJ.com: Legendary singer/songwriter, who faced widespread backlash for supporting Trump, dies at 74 I think this support should be included in the Personal life section. —⁠71.105.243.101 (talk) 20:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life

Article mistakenly says “until his death in 2023”. Rickbowman21 (talk) 05:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, fixed. Thank you. Alexcalamaro (talk) 06:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That was my typo. Thanks for fixing. Sullidav (talk) 09:34, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Timing of joining Cyrus Eyrie

The article says 'By the time he was a sophomore at Charles F. Brush High School, Carmen was playing piano and singing in rock bands including the Sounds of Silence, and the Cyrus Erie.' and 'Carmen became serious about being a musician while attending John Carroll University. He joined a band named Cyrus Erie,..' I presume both cannot be true, so this conflict should be resolved. Jontel (talk) 09:59, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've checked the Allmusic biography, as well as the New York Times obituary, and both indicate he joined Cyrus Erie while in university. I've removed it from the high school section. Thanks. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 00:44, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
