I received some upsetting news that a very good friend of mine recently passed away at the very young age of 52. I had been friends with Cindy Fuller since 2003 when we used to talk on the Whitensnake website forums. To say that Cindy was a music enthusiast would be a gross understatement. She lived music and I rarely encounter anyone with such passion and conviction for it. She was and had been a huge follower of David Coverdale and Whitesnake and more recently Queensryche who she became so acquainted with that she toured Europe with them on their tourbus this year. In fact the last time that I saw Cindy was at the Def Leppard/Whitesnake show in Sheffield in June. As usual she was so full of life and energy and having a blast on tour with Queensryche.

We always used to talk when I was traveling wherever to do photo shoots and from my beginning in 2003 she was always one of the most vocal advocates of my work telling whoever she could about the photos I had done.

I'll miss our conversations and Cindy's love for music and passion for life.
