U2’s tour manager, Dennis Sheehan, died overnight as the group was in the midst of a series of concerts in Los Angeles, the band confirmed on their website Wednesday.

“With profound sadness we confirm that Dennis Sheehan, U2’s longstanding tour manager and dear friend to us all, has passed away overnight. Our heartfelt sympathy is with his wonderful family,” promoter Arthur Fogel stated on the band’s website.

U2 played the first of five scheduled concerts at the Forum in Inglewood Tuesday night.

Sheehan had been staying at the Sunset Marquis hotel — located at 1200 North Alta Loma Drive in West Hollywood — during the band’s tour, according to TMZ.

At about 5:40 a.m., firefighters responded to a cardiac arrest call in the same block of North Alta Loma Drive (map), Rick Flores with the Los Angeles County Fire Department confirmed.

Flores did not confirm the identity of the patient.

The coroner’s office was called to the location Wednesday morning, according to Public Information Officer Craig Harvey.

“We’ve lost a family member, we’re still taking it in. He wasn’t just a legend in the music business, he was a legend in our band. He is irreplaceable.” Bono stated on U2’s website.
