In 2022, siblings Ella and Jesse Hooper of the band Killing Heidi faced the tragic loss of both their parents within weeks of each other. Their father succumbed to cancer, followed closely by their mother. Despite their grief, the siblings immediately returned to performing, demonstrating resilience forged through their experiences in the music industry. As they prepare to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their iconic album 'Reflector,' they reflect on their journey through personal and professional highs and lows, maintaining their spirit and connection from their teenage years when they first emerged in the Australian music scene.
Gone are the dreadlocks Jesse, now 44, removes his cap to reveal a bald head when asked if the controversial hairstyle will ever return but their youthful spirit remains.
It does remind me a bit of the early days: we would work through everything and anything, Ella says. It gives you a shitload of grit.
