Main body of text from link above............

Hey everyone - some very sad news to report. Doug Goldstein, a longtime manager of Guns N' Roses, has passed away. Doug was with GN'R and Axl for 17 years. Appetite until 2004.
I was informed yesterday by Craig Duswalt, Axl's former assistant. Craig and I just recorded an episode together talking about Doug and remembering the good times. He hasn't done an interview in 12 years. (...and is the other mustached man in the photos fyi)
Needless to say, I'm in shock and saddened. Many of you know that a few years ago, Doug and I were working on his autobiography together. Once others tried to get their hands on the project, it didn't end well. At the time, I felt betrayed. I was wrong. What I used to think was a waste of time writing a book that never happened, I now cherish the hours of conversation with Doug.
Doug was ALWAYS kind and supportive of me. He made me feel good about myself, ALWAYS. I took a rejection from a publisher too hard, and it wasn't Doug's fault. We did reconcile, but our friendship was never sadly the same.
My heart goes out to his family and friends, especially his 2 sons Jake and Eli. He loved those boys more than anything.
Rest in peace, Dougie. ?
