Just copied from Facebook because I don't want to have to write it all out again:
It occurs to me that lots of you don't know the news that's made me so sad this past week or so as I've only really told a few people close to me. So here it is. Stef, my guitarist from Skelliga, a man I once loved very deeply for all that he drove me mad, is dead. He took his own life last week. The last time I spoke to him was seven years ago, shortly after he broke Skelliga up completely out of the blue. I was just getting my head together after my divorce and thinking about getting back in touch to see how he was and now he's gone forever. We drove each other crazy but he meant so much to me, I never really stopped loving him.
