Pioneering rock ‘n’ roll manager Vincent Lovegrove dead at 64

Tributes are being paid to Australian rock music pioneer Vincent Lovegrove, who died in a car crash on the New South Wales north coast on the weekend.

Lovegrove shared a stage with Bon Scott in 1960s bubblegum band The Valentines, and later introduced Scott to the other members of AC/DC.

He also managed Cold Chisel in the mid-1970s, and later managed The Divinyls.

The 64-year-old was also a campaigner for HIV-AIDS awareness after losing both his wife and son to the disease — via redwolf.newsvine.com
