Rock legend died today after surgery complications

A big name in rock music who put together huge tours for AC/DC and Dire Straits has died. He was 82 years old.
His company, TEG, said that Garry Van Egmond died on Saturday after problems with surgery.

The famous Australian from Melbourne worked in the music business and planned some of the biggest tours in the world, including ones for AC/DC.
More than 35 million tickets were bought for his shows.

Geoff Jones, CEO of TEG Group, said that Van Egmond was “not only a highly valued colleague but also a thoroughly decent person and a very talented person with the highest integrity.”

“His legacy will stand the test of time,” he stated.

“Respected music industry stalwart” was how his company described him in a touching tribute.

Van Egmond worked as a tour manager, theater producer, event merchandiser, marketer, and promoter in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia for almost 50 years.
Van Egmond worked with Dire Straits in 1986, Jesus Christ Superstar in 1992, Riverdance in 1997, and AC/DC in 2010. These were four of Australia’s biggest concert tours.

His Dire Straits tour sold 250,000 tickets in Sydney alone, which put it in the Guinness Book of Records.

It was the most tickets ever sold for more than 30 years, until Ed Sheeran’s tour in 2018 sold more than a million.
