"As the crew was setting up a light on-stage, I was hanging out, relaxing, just wasting time in the hallways. I head someone start playing a song on the piano - it wasn't really a song so much as it was someone trying to figure out a song that they clearly had in their head and needed to play to the world. As I came out towards the stage, I spotted Jon, sitting, playing, looking vulnerable. He wasn't bothered by everyone working the lighting rigs around him, but I didn't want to intrude with a camera. So, I quietly snapped a few shots as he worked on the melody for this song, and I captured what I consider to be the best photo I've ever taken. And to give you some perspective, my photos are in museums across the world. I may retire because it will be hard for me to ever take a photo this good again."

One is the loneliest number...
We recently hired a world-famous photographer, Blake L, to cover our tour. He happened to catch this quiet moment on-stage the other day, a few hours before a show.
Here's how he captured such an incredible moment:
