Sep 11 2008Sarah McLachlan and her husband split
During an interview with Billboard.com for her upcoming album, Sarah McLachlan revealed that she's separating from her husband of 11 years Ashwin Sood:
"I wasn't planning on saying anything," McLachlan added, "but it's gonna come out at some point. I haven't said anything about it because I've been terrified to, but I figure ... there's no good time to say it, so I just said it."
McLachlan called the situation "pretty gross" but did not elaborate on reasons for the separation or the couple's future plans.
Ashwin is also the drummer in Sarah's band which is going to make things pretty awkward: "Hey, can you keep some sort of rhythm?" "Hey, I slept with your sister." Someone get me the number for TicketMaster.

OMG! This is big, big news.
Sarah McLachlan has been a stable power house artist, both lyrically and musically through the years. From her first video Into the Fire, she's shown just how talented she is.
Anyone remember Lilith Fair? Media heads claimed no one would go see an all women tour and BOOM, it's sold out everywhere and was the hottest show in town.
Her voice is soothing and with a new album on the horizon, expect more lyrical genius to erupt from this magical woman.
My heart goes out to you Sarah but I also know your next album and what emotional roller coaster ride you put us on after this event in your life will slam up hard.

way to predict something that is blatantly stated in the first sentence of the article.. you're a regular miss cleo
42. ramona putz - September 11, 2008 2:36 PM
Damn gross! Granola dumb dumb. Too bad it took her 11 yrs to figure it out. These granolas always want to sample the exotic, somehow believing it's better due solely to the fact that it's different. In the end, they get a rude awakening when they discover it only gives them heart-burn and diarrhea.
However, better late than never. Glad she finally got rid of the turd. Sent him floating down the Ganges.

#22.....you made me fucking laugh out fucking loud....thanks.....I saw these 2 shopping for groceries near my house in Victoria. I thought he was there to take her bags to her Range Rover Sport. Then I saw him driving away with her and I had proof that scary looking motherfuckers, in the right place at the right time, do get laid....now she will munch carpet and he will embrace mediocrity or drum for The Crash Test Dummies. If they are around.

She's married? To a man?? I seriously (no joke) thought she was a lesbian. I've got to read US Weekly more often.
52. blah - September 11, 2008 4:40 PM
But why? He's so hot....ahahahahaha. Maybe when she said "pretty gross" she meant she finally took off her blinders and took a good look at that mug; good god!

Good to know the racist bigots are making an appearance on this thread.

#55,
Dude, who gives a shit what posters say anonymously about Sarah McLachlan's ex on a message board on an entertainment blog dedicated to making fun of famous people? There are far greater racial injustices going on in the world. Go apply your righteous indignation where it might actually make a difference. You know, like in one of "those neighborhoods" where even YOU won't go at night.
57. What'supwiththeeyes? - September 11, 2008 6:00 PM
1st thing that dude has the crazy eyes never marry anyone with the crazy eyes, he kinda reminds of that runaway bribe with the bug eyes awhile back what's her name... "Jennifer Wilbanks". 2nd divorce granted on the grounds he looks like he's about to kill, eat, and then skull rape (in that order) however is taking that picture above!
58. sameshitdifferentyear - September 11, 2008 6:12 PM
What's the female's equivalent of a "beard"?
When her first videos came out, I was convinced she could be 'converted back' to being hetero, maybe even I was the right man for the job, in the meantime she was having a couple of kids with this guy. Who would've guessed.
Do female lead singers often have affairs/marriages with their drummers? Why is it their drummers? Is the bumper sticker true?
I usually skip over the posts where people bash each other in the forum itself, intensely painfully, boring and gets in the way of reading the "real" entries, but for some reason the back-and-forth insults in this one have been mildly amusing.
59. Brianne - September 11, 2008 6:33 PM
He looks like a lesbian who had a sex change or a fag. She must be buttfucking him with a strap on......ha ha ha
60. Chelle - September 11, 2008 7:11 PM
That dude is like a deer in headlights. I wonder if he knew it was a camera pointed at him and not a gun?
61. Roger That Shit - September 11, 2008 7:25 PM
What the fuck was she thinking when she married this douchebag? And how does it drag on for 11 years? Staying together for the kids or the band? Just doesn't make sense.
Maybe there's some lame religious crap like scientology or christianity or islam involved. Religion always involves mental disorders.
And someone implied that since he's indian he can't be a terrorist. What planet are you from? You never heard of the IEDs and bombings in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh? Apparently you don't keep up with world events. The events in your little podunk county are probably overwhelming you.
62. K - September 11, 2008 8:05 PM
Jack, we're in the Quadra/McKenzie area. I hear that Sarah and fam have a place in Tofino, and spend lots of time up there. I guess she'll be doing that alone from now on. Hope she had a pre-nup!!
63. Slap This - September 11, 2008 8:14 PM
I'm not sure how any musician is able to stay faithful. We'll fuck not-so-famous bands as long as they impress us with their playing of their instruments ;) Imagine the amount of groupies both McLachlan and her ex were getting on tour. A lot of temptation... very hot... but not so great for keeping interested in a relationship.

KT Tunstall had better watch out, she just married her drummer;

this wouldn't be interesting to me at all, except i cant get over the fact her husband looks freaking scary. seriously, whats going on here? I want to look away but somehow i can't....
66. weirdo - September 11, 2008 11:49 PM
Sarah's hot! I'd eat her pussy with a spoon!
67. Observer - September 12, 2008 2:04 AM
Separating? Terrified to talk about it? I can't imagine why, based on the photo. And no, that isn't 'profiling' -- if anyone else was giving an innocent camera that kind of look, I'd say the same thing. By the way, dude, Colin Hay called -- he wants his manic glare back.
As to her expression, if I had to care, I'd say it could be some kind of self-hypnosis. You know, better to smile than scream, that sort of thing.
Or... He's an avid student of Franz Mesmer, and she was his first subject. That explains both expressions. He just forgot to keep her under, which explains the separation. The three main features of the post, explained with one theory.
68. TommyP - September 12, 2008 3:57 AM
My guess, when the photo was taken, instead of saying "Say Cheese", Sarah blurted out "Ash, leaving you and taking this fine white ass on the road, Buh Bye!"
No, wait something shorter, "Divorce court!"
At least in the future, he can play a little song on his ipod called "I Will Remember You"
69. Fistpumper - September 12, 2008 2:22 PM
Husband? He looks like he should be selling her a green hotdog and a smoothie.

I thought Sarah Mclaughlan was gay. Did I miss something?
71. workinpants - October 11, 2008 7:35 PM
Wow! I guess I must be out of the loop. This kind of announcement is made and these are the comments?? Why is everyone so bitter and racist? I guess I have been living under a rock.It's a good thing all of you aren't put under the same scrutiny these people are.
