“On Friday we had a very sad and unexpected news that our stage manager, Paul “Bomber” Jackson, had passed away. This came as a total shock to us all. He was due to leave on tour with us this weekend for Australia and we know he was really looking forward to being part of our exceptional team again,” the band said.

“He not only did a great job and worked very long hours but he was also a friend. He was always bright and chirpy, a very witty and funny man. He will be sorely missed.”
