Here The Message of Mark Fisher Site ( stufish.com ):
"We are sad to announce that the stage designer and architect Mark Fisher, OBE, MVO, RDI, died yesterday in London aged 66.
He passed away peacefully in his sleep at the Marie Curie Hospice in Hampstead with his wife Cristina at his side, after a long and difficult illness, which he suffered with stoicism and courage and his customary good humor.
Mark’s work as a set designer and artistic director has transformed the landscape of rock concerts and large scale events over the last 25 years.
Together with his practice Stufish, Mark created the groundbreaking designs for all the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, and U2 tours for two decades as well as scores of other artists all over the world.
As well as his work in live music performance he also created designs for theatre productions and musical theatre including We Will Rock You, and Ka and Viva Elvis for Cirque du Soleil.
He was the senior designer for the Beijing Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies and was one of the three executive producers at the London 2012 Games ceremonies.
His work influenced not only the colleagues and crews with whom he worked but also surprised and delighted the many millions of people who experienced his designs all over the world.
26th June 2013"
L'équipe de News-of-Madonna vous annonce une mauvaise nouvelle. Vous ne connaissiez sans doute pas Mark Fisher mais il a été l'un des concepteurs et designer des plus grands concerts de ses dernière années. Il a notament travaillé avec Madonna sur le "MDNA Tour". Il est un homme de l'ombre car il travaillait sur le design de scène. En France, il a travaillé avec Mylène Farmer sur la tournée "Avant que l'ombre..." et il travaillerait selon certaine rumeur pour la tournée à venir "Timeless 2013", mais a également imaginé une scène pour Johnny Halliday.
A l'international il travaillaiy aussi avec les plus grands tels que les Pink Floyd, U2 pour le "360° Tour", Les Rollings Stones et plusieurs spectacles avec le Cirque Du Soleil.
Il est malheureusement décédé ce Mercredi 25 Juin 2013 à l'âge de 66 ans durant son sommeil.
Nous voulons donc lui rendre un petit hommage et un grand merci.
Le MDNA Tour n'aurait sans doute pas eu ce succès sans lui.
