Very sad to hear that we just lost another legendary music stalwart, Sting’s tour manager for over 40 years, Billy Frances, who also took on a couple of tours for me.
He was a wonderful and generous gentle giant always looking out for his artists and for an opportunity for a little mischief, of which he was a master.
He brightened up many of the tours we did together, always professional, competitive and playful.
All tough on the outside but soft as a puppy, when you got close.
He’ll be busy loading them into buses at the pearly gates.
We salute you Billy!
Bye – bye.
