Amidst all the elation of last nights event, while browsing through IG’s web page Caramba, I was shocked to find out that the band’s tour manager and accountant since the early 2000’s, Ian “Spider” Digance, has passed away on July 2026.
Spider was a lovely fellow, kind, warm hearted and funny, we have shared many a drink and a joke over the years.
Apparently he suffered from leukemia, and he lost that battle 
I don’t think his passing has been mentioned in THS, I apologize if it has, I just thought I’d write a few words to commemorate one of the people who may not stand on a stage, but through their hard work and strength of character make it possible for artists to ply their trade.
And make the lives of people they work with richer, in the process.
Very sad.
Rest in peace, Spider.
