"Just a couple of weeks ago Lou did a photo session intended to become a print ad for his friend Henri Seydoux's French audio headphones company Parrot. The renowned photographer Jean Baptiste Mondino took the shots, and this was the very last shot he took. Always a tower of strength." Tom Sarig (<a href="http://www.loureed.com/inmemoriam/">via LouReed.com</a>)
