Famed Rock Photographer Jeff Findley Dead At 42
November 4, 2009
The heavy music world has just lost one of its giants. Photographer Jeff Findley – the man responsible for shooting rock photos for just about every rock band imaginable (VAN HALEN, DIO, LYNCH MOB, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, KISS, etc..) from the 80‘s and onward, sadly passed away this past Monday, November 2nd, 2009. The cause of death is not yet known.
Jeff was perhaps most well known for shooting all of the photos for THE METAL DEN.com’s acclaimed
2007 tribute article to late OZZY guitarist Randy Rhoads, which is regularly featured at Blabbermouth.net.
TMD’s creator, rock journalist Randy “Rocket” Cody comments:
“For once, I am at a loss for words. I would like for every single hard rock
music lover that is reading these words to raise your horns in salute to the
world’s greatest rock n roll photographer of them all: Jeff Findley! His work
in rock photography will live on forever and I cannot speak to what an
incredible loss this is for all of us. God speed, brother. Save me a spot at
the ‘Tavern In The Sky’!”

Jeff was first and foremost, a great person. His photography speaks for itself. It’s a shame that so many that do harm to others, remain on this Earth. Yet loving, giving, talented people like Jeff, are taken from us. You were too good for this place Jeff! You deserved better, and we believe you are now better off, away from this crazy world the rest of us live in. So honored to have been a small part of your life. No more pain Jeff…Rest In Peace!
