Mick Hutson 1965-2023: "Most people’s reaction to my job is ‘you lucky sod!'"

Tributes have been pouring out following the unfortunate passing of one of music's most loved rock photographers, Mick Hutson. He was renowned for photographing the likes of Nirvana, David Bowie, Ozzy Osbourne, Paul McCartney, AC/DC, Primal Scream, the Stones, Marilyn Manson, Lily Allen, Elton John, Aerosmith, Madonna and many, many more.  

Hutson photographed the biggest names in music, with his work featured on a handful of official album releases, and having graced the front covers of prominent magazines including 80 covers shot for Metal Hammer magazine alone. It is with a heavy heart that we report on his passing, and remember Mick Hutson for the charming and kindhearted man that we knew him to be, having worked closely with plenty of our brands and editorial teams over the years. Let's talk about our memories of Mick.
