What did Taime Downe say moments before fiancé Kimberly Butch’s death? Faster Pussycat’s onstage remarks explored

Taime Downe, the lead singer of Faster Pussycat, reportedly had a heated argument with his fiancée, Kimberly Burch, shortly before her tragic fall from a Royal Caribbean cruise ship on March 3, 2025.

According to multiple reports, Burch died after falling overboard from the cruise near the Bahamas. The ‘80s Cruise began its journey from Miami on Sunday, March 2, and was headed to the Bahamas.

The DailyMail reported that around 90 minutes before the incident, the rock star performed with his bandmates to a boozy crowd and, towards the end of his performance, gave an obscene onstage rant, shouting: “It's all about the p**** motherf***er!”

It is unclear what circumstances led to her death or whether it was an intentional or accidental fall. She reportedly fell from the balcony of her eighth-floor room on the first night of the tour.

A Royal Caribbean Group spokesman told Daily Mail that a search operation has been launched by their team.

“Our crew immediately launched a search and rescue effort, is working with local authorities, and we are providing support and assistance to the guest’s family during this difficult time.” The spokesperson said.

The news of her death caught the Faster Pussycat fans off guard. Here is how they have reacted.
