The news of the passing of “Brother” Dege Legg, who died last Friday, March 8 has arrived as a severe shock that nobody at this label was prepared for. Our first thoughts and condolences for this tragic loss go out to his family, his band The Brethren, and friends.
Statement from The Brethren:
“Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of our Brother, Dege Legg.
Thank you to the fans around the world,
and our loving community for your support in this hard time.
Please keep the family, band, and friends in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for everything you gave to us, Dege. You are dearly missed.”
Prophecy Productions state: “It is with a heavy heart that I convey our sincere condolences to Dege Legg’s family, friends, and fellow musicians in his band” writes the label’s founder Martin Koller. “I am struck with grief and sadness on hearing about Dege’s passing and I know that I am speaking for everybody at Prophecy Productions. In the short time of our recently engaged collaboration, we all got to know this exceptional musician as a particularly gentle, kind, and generous artist. Rest in peace, Brother Dege!”
After deeply searching our hearts, we have decided to proceed with the release of “Aurora” the sixth full-length of BROTHER DEGE, which has been scheduled for March 15, 2024. To the best of our knowledge that is what Dege wanted. We will honour his artistic legacy by making it available to the world.
