David Kent, a music lawyer with London based legal firm Seddons, died last week after losing a fight with pancreatic cancer. He was 54.
Kent joined Seddons in 1988, and had run their media and entertainment division from 1997. Prior to Seddons he worked in house for what was then Thorn EMI. At the same time, according to his official biog, he spent time as a "budding but 'frustrated' musician in various bands before deciding he was probably better off just sticking to the law!"
He leaves behind a wife, Marilyn, and daughter Charlotte.
