It is with the heaviest heart that I announce the passing of my dear friend and tour manager Damian McCollum. For nearly 34 years Damian stood loyally beside me, protecting me .. he always had my back. He was just the best person to have in your corner through the ups and downs of the entertainment world. Down through the years he must have made millions of cups of tea or honey and lemon drinks for me, wiped my tears when I was upset,made me laugh like no other and made the lives of all the band and crew so much easier on the road. I’m happy in the knowledge that he died peacefully in the arms of his beloved wife Frances. I’m also grateful and blessed to have spent most of my touring life in his company. Safe travels now dear Damian and rest peacefully. Mary ?
