Newsletter (from Kevin’s wife, Helmi Coyne) 01/2005

Dear friends,

I want to say thank you.

Thank you all for the love and warmth shown at this tragic time.

Your letters, emails, cards and messages have been truly heart-warming and I am comforted in the knowledge that we all shared in Kevin’s life.

But this is not the end. Kevin was too much of a living force, such a liver of life for everything to stop with his death.

Kevin’s creative output continued as strong as ever despite the problems inflicted by lung fibrosis. During the final months he recorded much material for Turpentine Records and CD’s are being planned for future release. Kevin’s book, “Suburban Angst” is to be rescheduled for publication in the new year.
Exhibitions of new paintings and art work are also in the pipeline and the website will remain active.

Kevin was heartened by knowing that his work was reaching out to a widening audience and this gave him strength. He needed to find strength to continue concert tours and mention must be made of the unfailing contribution from the current band members, Werner, Harry and Andreas. Their loyalty, support and friendship both on and off stage helped Kevin to carry on when the going became hard.

Further thanks to Pascal and the Kevin Coyne newsgroup members. I know how much Kevin means to you.

It is not easy for me, but I know that Kevin and I shared many wonderful years. I can only be forever grateful and thank Kevin for the love and laughter, the excitement, the tears, the marvellous memories that will be with me always.

It is not easy for any of us, but I know that Kevin’s star will continue to shine bright for everyone.

Thank you, everybody, the show goes on.
I wish you all a brave and happy new year.
