Drafting and Planning: Article Improvements

When my teacher gave me my *feedback* for my *first draft*, he mentioned that my article on my Double Page Spread did not have enough content. (Improvements highlighted in red)

Second Passing is back! Fans of the British Alt-Rock Band Second Passing took to twitter to welcome back the band after an almost 2-year hiatus following the revelation that the lead singer, Rachel Basset, was struggling with an addiction to cocaine.

In the year building up to the announcement of the hiatus, there was speculation about Rachael going through a rough time as she failed to show up to a string of meet and greets on warped tour 2014. On the day, Second Passing’s management tweeted: “Due to unforeseen reasons, Rachael will be unable to attend the meet and greet scheduled at the Hopeless Records tent tomorrow at 2pm… thankfully, the rest of the band will be attending and look forward to meeting everyone who comes!”

In March 2015, Second Passing’s management announced the band’s hiatus to “Focus on the wellbeing of the band members and to take a break from the spotlight of the industry”. It was revealed that the lead singer, Rachel Basset had been admitted into a rehab centre to recover from a cocaine addiction. On her personal twitter the day of the announcement, he stated “yes, the rumours are true I am being admitted to rehab for cocaine I would like to thank Second Passing for being with me through my recovery” followed by a tweet on Second Passing’s account saying “We are proud of Rachel for taking this step towards getting better, we ask that you all support him during this difficult time”.

Now, almost 2 years later, and with a fully recovered Rachel, Second Passing are back. On her personal Twitter, Rachel said “I would like to thank everyone who helped me during my time of need. I would also like to thank the wonderful staff at the centre I was treated at. I met some amazing people with some amazing stories. Hopefully, this will encourage anyone who is struggling to get help, you’re not alone!”
Second Passing are said to be working on their third album. It has been rumoured that the profits from the sale of the album will be going to charities like those that helped Rachel during her difficult time.
