Matteo Agostinelli, voice and guitar of Yuppie Flu, has died at 48. The news was announced by the band through a message posted on their official social media channels. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
Born in Ancona, Matteo Agostinelli had lived in Bologna for years with his wife and two children. At the end of 1999 he had founded the label Homesleep Music together with Daniele Rumori and Giacomo Fiorenza, helping to shape one of the most recognizable independent paths in Italian indie music of the 2000s.
The band had debuted in 1997 with “Automatic But Static”, launching a five-album discography that culminated in “Fragile Forest” in 2008. Activity had come to a halt the following year, before resuming in 2021 with the digital EP “Hold On”, recorded as a trio with Simone Cavina on drums and Matteo Portelli on bass.
