U2′s longtime tour manager Dennis Sheehan has been found dead a day after the band kicked off a five-night stint in the Los Angeles area.
Bono posted a statement about Sheehan’s death on his website today, saying: “We lost a family member, we’re still taking it in”.
Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Chris Reade said first responders were called at around 5.30am local time to reports of a man in cardiac arrest.
Sheehan was pronounced dead at the scene. Coroner’s investigators are at the hotel.
He managed U2′s tours for more than three decades.
Bono said he “was a legend in our band. He is irreplaceable.”
The Irish quartet brought their Innocence & Experience tour to The Forum in Inglewood, California, yesterday, the first of five nights in the Los Angeles area.
