Over the weekend, the world received the news that Charles Bradley lost his fight with cancer and left this world at 68 years old. He was one of our headliners for 35 Denton 2016 and I can say, without a doubt, that he was one of the most unique, light-filled beings I have ever met in my entire life. I didn't share any deep conversations with him, but had the opportunity to meet and photograph him quickly in his dressing room backstage before he went on to give Denton one of the most energetic and charismatic shows we've ever seen. He immediately took my hands in his, pulled me in, and called me his friend.
Funny how one man could touch people so deeply with such brief interactions. I've been listening to his music again, still completely in awe of his compassion, humility, and love for his fellow man in spite of the pain and difficulties he experienced.
Here's a link to the promo we made with ARTLAB3000 and Jon Collins announcing him as a headliner.
RIP Charles. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
