My brother Ian, the father of Barbara died last night from cancer here in Los Angeles. Barbara and her sister Chandra were with him and the family joined him soon afterwards. Ian had an amazing and exciting life. He was the booking agent for the Police, Sting discovered REM and many other famous music stars. He was a big part of my life and of Stewarts and so many other people as well. I can't say any more just now as I still can't quite believe it has happened.

Wed, May 24, 2006 - 12:33 PMMiles, my sincerest condolences to you, Barbara, Stewart, and your family. Ian's legacy will live on in the memories of those who knew and loved him.
FYI, there's also a thread on his passing at music industry message board The Velvet Rope: www.velvetrope.com. Some fond reflections there.
May you and yours find comfort in this difficult time.
