Chris seems alright to me; I hadn't an inkling there were any problems.
Anyway, I decided to check up on Lush or Chris on the internet, to see if there are any clues as to why he did what he did, or what the source of his unhappiness was.
I knew how close Miki, Emma and Chris were and how nice Chris was and I started crying because it was such a huge loss to music, to Miki and Emma and the world for he was a genuinely nice guy.

 article that prompted Miki's letter to the ed.
Last October, Chris Acland, the drummer of indie veterans Lush, hanged himself at his parents' Cumbria home.
At 30, Acland was still on a basic wage of A150 a week - a figure that hadn't changed in six years.
He'd been in Lush for eight years, it was his job, but he couldn't even afford somewhere proper to live.' Acland's death serves as a sobering reminder that musicians in seemingly successful groups often survive on little more than subsistence wages.

 angels twenty » Lush - Olympia
Drummer Chris Acland hung himself shortly after Lovelife’s 1996 release, leading to the dissolution of the band; had they continued to release an album at the same pace they had before, Lush would’ve had four more albums under their belt.
The album was the band’s most successful to date, and all this came on the heels of a major stylistic change away from their original shoegazer sound.
With Acland’s death, things unravelled quickly; Lush stopped playing shows, its members split to play in other bands, and singer Miki Berenyi—arguably the closest to Acland—retreated from public life entirely, popping up only occasionally to sing on other people’s songs.

 Sing-Sing: The Joy of Sing-Sing - PopMatters Music Review
After bursting onto the scene in the early 1990s with their own hybrid of My Bloody Valentine and the Cocteau Twins, the quartet, fronted by guitarists Miki Berenyi and Emma Anderson, gradually became less of a rip-off of the shoegazer bands (complete with indecipherable lyrics), and started creating songs that were more personal.
The highly enjoyable Lovelife was a modest success, and things were looking pretty good for the group, but it all came to a crashing halt when drummer Chris Acland committed suicide.
Acland's death devastated the other three members of Lush so much, that the band just petered out completely, the bandmates amicably going their separate ways.

It's an eighteen track career spanning sendoff for one of the more under appreciated and unusual bands to walk in and out of our lives… we'll dwell momentarily on the negative before revealing the niceties of this band, of which there were many.
Their end came in the aftermath of drummer, an integral part of their overall make up, Chris Acland's suicide which threw things into an utter turmoil and eventual conclusion.
Oddly enough, Acland was considered the bright light in the times of darkness and an otherwise flighty Pop band that created many memorable moments faded out along with him… sad.

 the i - Lush "Lovelife" CD review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
LONDON quartet Lush consisting of drummer Chris Acland, guitarist and vocalist Emma Anderson, vocalist and guitarist Miki Berenyi and bassist Philip King have always strutted a fine line between the beautiful etherealism of The Cocteau Twins and the fuzzy, dreamy psychedelia of My Bloody Valentine.
They're guitar pop saviours who hold a torch for stark moodiness and jangling embellishments of pastel and picturesque riffing beauty and first came to prominence with their debut album in January 1992.
This is Lush in their prime, exploring diverse strains, symphonic refrains and dark mysterious edges that stay with you long after the last note fades.

Lush have announced their permanent split after nearly a year-and-a-half of inactivity following the suicide of drummer Chris Acland (second from the left in the photo) in October 1996.

While it always seemed unlikely that Lush would continue without their long-time friend in the line-up, no reasons have been given as to why they took so long to finally announce the end of the partnership.
