Elton John, The Rolling Stones and David Bowie Lose $2m Rock Memories in
Blaze  By Fame News, October 26 2008

A handful of the world's biggest rock legends - including The Rolling
Stones, David Bowie and Elton John - have been left reeling after $2m worth
of rare memorabilia was destroyed in a fire.

Tour pictures and promotional material marking different eras in The Stones'
42-year career were lost in the warehouse blaze; legal documents signed at
the start of Bowie's career were lost forever; and items belonging to Elton
John and Duran Duran were also being kept at the depot in Bow, east London
by storage experts Iron Mountain.

A source says, "Everyone is very upset. The material is irreplaceable. Some
of it is years old and worth thousands of pounds.

"Lawyers have been instructed to deal with it. People just want some
compensation for their loss. They refuse to take it lightly.

"There is no way that this will be let go, there has not even been a proper
explanation."

As FAME went to press on Sunday (October 26) reps for the respective stars
were unavailable for comment.

A spokesman for Iron Mountain refused to comment on the fire but said, "The
security of our customers' valuables is paramount."

Items belonging to Sir Elton John, Duran Duran and The Sex Psitols were also
being kept at the depot in Bow, east London by storage experts Iron
Mountain. Managers for The Stones and Bowie are now seeking compensation. A
music industry source revealed: "Everyone is very upset. The material is
irreplaceable. Some of it is years old and worth thousands of pounds.

"Lawyers have been instructed to deal with it. People just want some
compensation for their loss. They refuse to take it lightly.

"There is no way that this will be let go, there has not even been a proper
explanation."

It is the third blaze to hit Iron Mountain in recent weeks after warehouses
in New York and Ottawa burned to the ground.

The firm would not comment on the London fire but said: "The security of our
customers' valuables is paramount."
