U2’s tour manager for more than 3 decades Dennis Sheehan, was found dead in his hotel room after suffering a massive heart attack.
Sheehan was found dead in Wednesday morning in the Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, for a reported cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at the scene.
“We’ve lost a family member, we’re still taking it in. He wasn’t just a legend in the music business, he was a legend in our band. He is irreplaceable,” U2 frontman Bono said in band's website.
“With profound sadness we confirm that Dennis Sheehan, U2’s longstanding tour manager and dear friend to us all, has passed away overnight. Our heartfelt sympathy is with his wonderful family,” added Arthur Fogel, CEO of Global Touring and Chairman of Global Music at Live Nation.
Sheehan, in his 68, had worked with the Irish rockers since 1982.
And in 2008, he was awarded the Parnelli Lifetime Achievement Award — which are considered to be the “Oscars of the Live Event Industry.”
