I have wondered the same thing. Well, they both come from Adelaide, and both are very musically talented (singing being their best attribute). It's highly likely! Very different musical careers though... No, they are not closely related. Peter was born in McLaren Vale (about 40 km from Adelaide) in September 1966 to Bill and Rosalie Furler (Christian missionaries). Sia Furler was born in Adelaide in 1975 to Phil Colson (musician) and Loene Furler (art lecturer).
Pete Howland is my grandfather and yes he was the bass player for The Righteous Brothers. He was living in Prescott AZ and unfortunately passed away on February 27th this year. I showed him this question and the top answer to it probably close to ten years ago now and he was thrilled, he thought it was so cool that people online were asking about him and that Bill said to say hello. He was a pretty introverted guy but I know he appreciated that everyone was thinking about him and wanted to contact him. He was quite the character and definitely will be missed by anyone that had the opportunity to know him over the course of his long and interesting life. Here’s a photo of the band, Pete’s on the far right.
