STARS HONOUR LATE PR LEGEND
All four members of U2 gathered on Tuesday (09Dec08) to pay their last respects to the music boss who gave them their first big break.
Irish music executive Rob Partridge, who handed the Beautiful Day hitmakers their first album deal, passed away on 26 November (08) following a battle with liver and bowel cancer. He was 60.
And a host of musicians who had worked with Partridge - including rocker Tom Waits and The Charlatans star Tim Burgess - turned out to honour him at a funeral service in Golders Green, London.
Rocker Billy Bragg sang the hymn Jerusalem in tribute to the late music mogul, reports NME.com.
