In 2008, Marillion recorded their fifteenth studio album, the two-part Happiness Is The Road, and Classic Rock writer Jon Hotten accompanied a competition winner to the studio. Her prize?

It was the day the music died. Or rather, it was the day the music journalist died – just a little – on the inside.
