We’ve got sad news to pass along this evening as graphic artist Storm Thorgerson has passed away. The news was confirmed by English journalist and songwriter Polly Samson, who’s also David Gilmour’s wife. Thorgerson designed countless album covers including Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, Phish’s Slip Stitch and Pass, Umphrey’s McGee’s Safety In Numbers and The Mars Volta’s Frances The Mute, and of course YOURCODENAMEIS:MILO ‘Ignoto’ and ‘Rapt Dept’ -

Thorgerson is best known for his work with Pink Floyd as he not only designed the iconic cover of Dark Side, but also produced the cover art for many other of the band’s LPs including Animals, Wish You Were Here and Atom Heart Mother.
Rest In Peace Storm.
