Mark Fisher, British designer and architect known primarily for designing iconic stage sets for rock & rolls hugest acts - Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Metallica, Madonna, Pink, Van Halen, Lady Gaga and U2 - has passed at the age of 66.

Casino fans would also know Mr. Fisher's work - via his agency Stufish - designing Cirque du Soleil's Ka and BeLIEve sets, the Tree of Life in the Golden Atrium at Wynn Macau, Resorts World Sentosa's Voyage De La Vie and the Las Vegas production of Queen's We Will Rock You.

Plainly put, he was a master of the spectacle whom masters of the spectacle called upon when they needed the incredible.

@chuckmonster I believe he designed VH's 2004 "Golden Rings" stage, where I sat, and for which you sold me tickets. :)

Yes sir. The list of stages he's done is pretty incredible!
