A tour manager who worked with The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Peter Frampton was killed in an accident while he was digging a grave for his family dog. The Press Democrat reports that at the time of his death, Mick Brigden, 73, was still managing the career of guitarist Joe Satriani, who said in a tribute that “he worked the biggest and the best, but always knew it was important to be kind, be respectful, be cool and do things the right way.” The exact nature of last weekend’s accident at his home in Santa Rosa was not disclosed; Brigden’s wife said he was taken to the hospital after it but did not survive.
..it's been a crazy & wonderful 33 years of rock 'n' roll. I've never worked so hard, played so hard, laughed and cried so hard, made so much music & had so many worldwide adventures, & all with Mick by my side.. RIP Mick Brigden.
