U2 TOUR MANAGER Dennis Sheehan has died, aged 68.
Frontman Bono said in a statement that it was like ‘losing a family member’.
“We’re still taking it in,” he said.
He wasn’t just a legend in the music business, he was a legend in our band. He is irreplaceable.
Sheehan, who previously worked with Led Zeppelin and Lou Reed, was found in a Los Angeles hotel room early this morning, TMZ reports.
Police officials told the website that he is suspected to have died of a heart attack.

Sympathy to his family
Sad News R.I.P
Rest in peace deepest condolences to his family.
Thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Was only listening to an interview this morning from the boys about the Edge falling off the stage and how it felt like a bad start to the tour and could have been worse . Little did they know it’s just got worse . RIP
Didnt Larry’s father die quite recently too Frank
That’s right I had forgot about that , bad times
People today set aside your hate for bono and don’t be mean to this man and his family. I can’t stand bono either but not this mans fault what bono is. So please show a bit of respect.

Moronic surely
