In memoriam: Ed Roach. Sincere condolences to all who love him.
In honor of Ed and some of the many incredible images and memories he shared so graciously online over the years, I tried to compile a selection into a post; please swipe for all images and quotes.
RIP BRIAN WILSON 💔
He‘s with Chris and his brothers now.
RIP Ed Roach
Thanks for everything 🕊️

Dennis & Christine
Photo taken by Ed Roach.
Full size pic.
Photo by Julian Wasser - (re-photographed from my copy of The Beach Boys: Silver Anniversary by John Milward. Published by Doubleday/Dolphin 1985).
eta: adding image descriptions as they've stopped showing for me on mousing over or clicking the alt button - was working ok earlier. Top photo: Screengrab from a BBC documentary of a photograph of Dennis Wilson and Christine McVie, that looks like it's from a recording session - both are wearing headphones, and playing piano. Christine has a microphone in front of her. (Dennis & Christine are both wearing red tops, and there is some kind of red box with partly obscured white writing on it, and a white border, against the wall in the background).
The image has the BBC logo in the top left hand corner.
Bottom photo: Photo of two loose pages from a book on a yellow bedspread. The pages show a double page black & white photo of Christine McVie and Dennis Wilson looking at each other. Dennis is sat in a chair with his hands on a piano keyboard while Christine is leaning against the side of the piano lid with her arms crossed. The top of the piano has a decorative rug/throw plus a notebook, cigarette packet, ashtray and a fat candle on it. They are in a corner of a room decorated with a lamp/lamp shade, what could be a candle holder, various wall hangings, a white bookcase with various books, photos and ornaments on display including Japanese-esque facemasks, a photo of Christine singing and a copy of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours (barely visible, it shows up better in the original book's printing of the photo) , and a framed triptych of photos on the wall. There is an empty wicker chair next to Dennis, and a large plant in the far right corner.

I present to you:
Christine McVie getting territorial via a statement tee 35 years apart, yes she is and will always be a legend!
[thanks to @sirpall for enlightening me on what her shirt says on the right. The quality is crappy but it makes a lot of sense]
Chris absolutely adorable in 1979 just casually sitting next to none other than Andy Warhol!! No biggie…
She looks beautiful! If anyone can figure out what her shirt says let me know :)
Thanks to Ed Roach (on instagram) for this GEM!!
