FAREWELL, NICK JOHN

We're very sad to report the passing of Nick John, beloved artist manager and a friend to many in our circle, after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Nick, who managed Mastodon and worked with Rick Sales, was generous and supportive in all aspects of his life, not least in his work, where he regularly extended opportunities to other artists and colleagues. We'll miss him terribly and extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones.
