It is with profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Michelle Kerr.
Michelle worked at Roadrunner UK for over 15 years before independently continuing to work with the label under the banner of Cosa Nostra PR. She was truly a huge part of the label’s history. An extraordinary PR, Michelle was responsible for press campaigns for Slipknot, Type O Negative, Opeth, Machine Head, Korn, Megadeth and so many more. Our hearts go out to everyone who knew Michelle and who experienced what a true leading light she was. She will be sorely missed by all.
Michelle lived for most of her life in Hampstead; a place she adored. A place where she loved going for long walks on the heath and frequently went wandering through Highgate Cemetery. Michelle’s wish was to have some of her ashes laid to rest in Highgate Cemetery and if possible to have a memorial bench on Hampstead Heath. Her family and close friends have arranged a fundraiser to help cover the costs. Any surplus funds will go to a charity in Michelle’s name.
If Michelle ever put you on a guestlist, gave you time with one of her artists, helped you and/or your band(s) achieve any level of success, gave you career advice, bought you a drink at a show… your donation would be appreciated.
