Dødsfald: Nigel Gray – producer for bl.a. the Police – er død
4. august 2016Endnu et dødsfald i den lange række inden for musiklivet: Produceren Nigel Gray, der stod for The Polices tre første album, er død.
Andy Summers, ex-Police, skriver på bandets Facebookside:
He was an empathetic and gifted producer, a kind and generous man who allowed three hopefuls into his studio for nothing and gave us the chance to make our first album Outlandos D’ Amour . With and because of Nigel’s encouragement and patience and the days and nights at his studio, Surrey Sound, we were able to find our style -almost against the prevailing rage of the London punk scene in those days.
He was very important to us , got what we did and pushed us forward. The memories of Nigel Gray and our time with him remain vivid and cherished.
Pax Nigel

Gray producerede også for Siouxsie and the Banshees, Godley & Creme og flere mindre kendte navne.
