Death of Gramophone chief, 66

Death of Gramophone chief, 66

We are shocked to learn of the death from sepsis of Chris Pollard, former publisher of Gramophone magazine and an all-round enthusiast for everything to do with classical music and opera.

Chris, who had been ill for some time, was admitted to hospital last night and failed to pull through.

He is survived by his wife, Ann, and their three daughters.

I shall miss his impish wit and his friendly banter.
