The sad news that Armando Acosta, legendary drummer with SAINT VITUS, has passed away at the age of 58. Saw him in action at the 2009 Roadburn festival (photos included). I was fortunate enough to meet him and take a few photos of him, though only in passing. A real nice guy, laid back and unassuming.
Here's a pic I shot of him with my buddy Ben, a long time VITUS aficionado.
You can be sure he will be missed.

That's a great picture.
His smile is what stood out and what one most remembered about Armando.
He was unassuming and generous to a fault. Glad you got to meet him.
Meeting people was a highlight of the tours for him.
