"Mick Brigden, a manager who worked with Mick Jagger and Chickenfoot, dies following an accident that occurred while digging a grave for his dog"
"Mick Brigden, a tour manager for The Rolling Stones and the manager of supergroup Chickenfoot, died on Sept. 5, following an accident in his home in Santa Rosa, Calif.
The England native, who worked with acts like Joe Satriani, Carlos Santana, Bob Dylan, Mountain and Peter Frampton, was digging a grave for his family’s dog when the unspecified accident occurred, his wife of 34 years, Julia Dreyer Brigden, told The Press Democrat. Following the accident, Brigden, 73, was taken to the hospital where he passed away.
Brigden was a mentee of concert promoter Bill Graham. Brigden, along with others who worked with Graham, purchased 90% of the company Bill Graham Presents following Graham’s 1991 death in a helicopter crash. In 2008, he became the manager of the supergroup Chickenfoot, which features rockers Satriani, Sammy Hagar, Michael Anthony, and Chad Smith.
Satriani shared a heartfelt note following Brigden’s passing on his website."
