Guitarist and singer/songwriter Josh Clayton, former frontman for

pop-rockers School of Fish, died of cancer Jan. 19, less than a

month after he was diagnosed, the Los Angeles Times reported on

Thursday. Clayton was 32. Formerly known as Josh Clayton-Felt, he led

School of Fish — best known for the 1991 hit "Three Strange Days"

— from their formation, in 1989, until they disbanded, in 1994. He

played all the instruments on his 1996 solo debut, Inarticulate Nature

Boy, which featured the single "Window." He was dropped from A&M,

after the label was acquired by Universal Music Group, and later released

two albums on his own Talking Cloud Records: Josh Clayton ... Felt Like

Making a Live Record, taken from 1996 performances, and Beautiful

Nowhere (1999), which he sold at shows and through his Web site

(www.joshclayton.com). A third studio album was completed for A&M but

shelved after the merger. Clayton played guitar on singer/songwriter

Jewel's 1998 album, Spirit.
