STEWART COPELAND

I was not lucky enough to know Ian.
But I was lucky enough to know of him.

My best to you and your family today, Stewart. I am happy to see this past year end on such a high note.


Cheers, Ian!

Yes, cheers Ian.

I am sure he would have loved this.

I knew there was a reason I was saving my last pint of Guinness!

To Ian!!

Thank you for all that you did for the music industry, Wild Thing.

A ta santé, Ian !
No more discussions on George Buisson, too bad...

from Police around the World in Egypt (in front of the Pyramids):

STEWART: You are Shut up !

IAN: I am Shut up?

Heh,heh... I love that stuff...he was awesome.

Get Kim and go to Vancouver and watch the Boys playing for you!

All my respect, Ian.... and all my love!

Kim and Ian has been in on this reunion tour thing from day one.
Smiling all the way

Cheers & regards to Ian, and all of his friends & family.

I just picked up Wild Thing from the library yesterday...you bet I'm raising my coffee cup right now...cheers

My copy of wild thing arrived in the post today.....

Does anyone think someone is trying to tell me something?!!!

It a tough day for Ian's family but lets hope they manage one smile when they think of him

Kim

I've been re-reading my copy of Wild Thing, and finding it hard to imagine all that energy and passion is no longer with us. I truly hope Ian is out there somewhere watching all this with a great big smile.

Don't know if anyone's seen this tribute, but today seemed an appropriate day to post it here:

Thanks for the link nancyrose. This is an awesome tribute to one hell of a guy. RIP Ian, our thoughts are with Stewart, family and friends.

I met Ian three times over the course of maybe 10 years. I don't think he remembered me from one meeting to the next but he was great to talk to every time. A really nice guy. The first time I met him was at an FBI party in Manhattan (a friend of mine was an agent there) and some guy was arguing with him about Stewart's prowess as a drummer! Needless to say I jumped right in to back Ian's point of view that Stewart is the best ever.

I know he was always really friendly and supportive of the fans. I wish I had ran in to him more often...

I was lucky enough to meet Ian and he truly made everyone feel like a VIP. Have a rum and coke in his honour.

"Cheers and regards" to the Copeland family on this particularly tough and emotional day.
