    Maybe Neil asked them to stay close to his home so found a place to practice out there.

    Very, very sad news. I think I might have corresponded with him via e-mail when I bought a print way back when.


    But, man this was tough for me to even hear even though I'm just a fan who admired his work. I swear I was practically in tears reading Neil's tribute. Part of it is he appeared to be a pretty healthy looking person and then...one day...it happens just like that in his 40s. I mean...anyone can drop dead at any time for any reason...but I'm still shocked he did from looking at him. Maybe he had a genetic disposition that contributed to a higher probability that he could have one? It's freaking scary is what it is. His name was so synonomous with Rush that he was almost like a part of the band itself. You hear his name...you think of Rush. At least he had a photoshoot the day before...cause those pics will be treasured I'm sure by Rush and fans alike I'm sure.


    RIP Andrew. You were a fan like the rest of us who became the band photographer...and then we were a fan of you and the band. It won't be the same without you.
