Danielle Moore, best known as the singer of Crazy P, died in ‘sudden and tragic’ circumstances last August at the age of 52. It has now been confirmed that the 00s singer died by suicide after reportedly struggling with a ‘hectic work schedule’ and perimenopause.

An inquest heard how the strain of the Covid lockdown and onset of menopause had been a ‘double whammy’ for Moore’s mental health. Her husband James Ensell told Birmingham Coroner’s Court that she was ‘burned out’ and ‘exhausted’ when work returned and she was busier than ever with shows.

Crazy P, an electronic group, formed in the late 90s and then rose to fame the following decade with tracks like Stop Space Return and Like A Fool. However, the nostalgia boom and post-pandemic influx of gigs meant many artists were suddenly touring and performing at unprecedented levels.

While Moore had started Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) — a common treatment for menopause symptoms — her busy schedule meant she was unable to ‘optimise the benefits’. ‘I have been a coroner for a long time but cases like this still upset me,’ Area Coroner James Bennett told her family and friends.
‘I’m really sorry for your loss, what happened is truly awful.’. She died on August 30, 2024, just a week before her eighth wedding anniversary with Ensell. On the morning of her death, Moore did her laundry, contacted her gig manager about an upcoming show’s guest list and then, unusually, purchased a bottle of whiskey from a nearby store.
