Deep Purple Legends Tribute Late Manager Tony Edwards

Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who quit Deep Purple in 1975, said on his website Blackmoresnight.com: "With deepest respect - and with great sorrow - we honor Tony Edwards. Tony was the man behind the scenes for Deep Purple. He was instrumental to the existence and sustenance of the band and it's music from its inception to present day. Tony's insight and intuitiveness were unparalleled in the music business. He will be thought of often and missed greatly. Without Tony Edwards there would be no Deep Purple."
Similarly, Jon Lord, Deep Purple's keyboard player, said on his website, jonlord.org: "A few days ago � fittingly, on Remembrance Day � I lost a friend. He was my manager from 1968 to 1976, my daughter Sara's Godfather, and the man who was instrumental in helping me to realize, in 1969, the dream which defined my musical life � that of a 'Concerto for Group and Orchestra.' - more on this story
