In Memoriam: Audio legend Bruce Jackson

[Chris15]

Bruce Jackson was claimed by a plane crash over the weekend. He was the pilot, he loved to fly.
We have truly lost an industry legend. He was at varying times, FoH for Elvis amongst others, Audio Director for Olympic ceremonies, as well as one of the pioneering forces in digital audio.

I had the great privilige to meet Bruce and more than his achievements he was an amazing man, generous with his time and ever willing to share his knowledge.

Here's one of I presume multiple reports: http://fohonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4745&Itemid=1

Very sad news.
Bruce was the 'J' in Jands ( J and S) and left an incredible legacy of knowledge and skill in our industry. A true legend and will be sadly missed.
