Ian Copeland starb Dienstag Nacht im Alter von 57 Jahren in Los Angeles.
Die erste Police Single Fall Out trägt auf der B-Seite seine Credits und die seines Bruders Stewart. Ian war jahrelang über seine Konzertagentur F.B.I. (Frontier Booking International) mit Band wie The Police, R.E.M., Go-Gos, Squeeze und vielen anderen verbunden.
Daneben war Ian einfach ein sehr netter Kerl, den hunderte Police Fans ständig mit ihren Fragen löchern konnten.
Sein Bruder Miles schreibt:
I am sorry to announce that my brother Ian past from us last night at 11:20 PM. He was with his two daughters and later we all joined him. It is hard to believe but he had an exciting life and was grateful for it. He was also grateful for all the friendship shown to him over the past few months from so many people. He was much loved by so many. He will be grately missed. I can’t say any more right now. Miles
Stewart:
My brother Ian has died. His last weeks were peaceful and serene, surrounded by his family. He met his fate with courage, grace and even a little humor. After Miles update on this site, I was able to relay to him your flood of prayers and good wishes. He liked that. He was very weak but was able to say „Cheers and regards“. I am devastated beyond words.
Stewart Copeland
Thanks Ian and god bless!
