1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 From a photographer's status update on Facebook: "Word has just come out that legendary Canadian music photographer Andrew McNaughtan has died in LA of a heart attack while on photo assignment with RUSH. His photos have been the cement in hundreds of Canadian music careers. Some of the most iconic images to grace album and magazine covers. This is a huge loss. Condolences to friends and family."

I have one of his prints of Rush, and I've always treasured it. Even moreso now.
tangy Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 may he RIP. so are we to assume that he died while shooting pics for the new disc?
Lerxster Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Wow, what a blow. He introduced Neil to his wife. RIP
Babycat Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Oh my good God, no..! I can't believe it! RIP, Andrew... My sincere condolences to your family, friends and, of course, to the band.
The Cat 3 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Very sad news, indeed. Rest in peace Andrew and many, many thanks for sharing your gift with the world and for bringing so much joy to so many Rush fans over the years.

EmotionDetector Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 RIP. This is really sad. I remember being part of an old Rush board years ago, and winning the opportunity to join a chat with him. He seemed real down-to-earth and it was a great experience. Condolences to his family.
circumstantial tree Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I met him at one of the earlier RushCons. Can't remember which one though.
Unattractive Truth Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 What a sad day. RIP Andrew. I won a photo signed by him on another Rush website years ago. It was a portrait of Geddy Lee from My Favorite Headache. Does anyone know how old he was???
