to nowhere or the city of round and round, stuck on a <span id=\"fd5d2b03-5fdd-4ea9-9d17-73bb3946da7d\" class=\"suggested-link\">wheel of fortune<\/span> that seemed low on batteries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe surrounded us with great people \u2013 he shaped a future for us that is now here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a mean fact that he has left the building \u2013 I feel sick at writing this, again as if any tribute adds to the cold fact he has gone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t look forward to a world without him \u2013 there\u2019s an emptiness that is like a magnet to the center of the earth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was more to me than just my manager \u2013 he believed in me in ways no one does \u2013 there was simply nobody I was closer to. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo he has left a crater size hole in my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On moving forward without him, Gavin added: \u201cAs a band we will continue to shoot for the stars he wanted for us \u2013 we will continue his legacy with songs and shows and quality which is everything that defined him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeter, thank you for every single thing you did for me, the band and my family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will be desperately missed by so many \u2013 I\u2019m just one of a whole bunch of brilliant people behind the scenes ,in front of the camera, onstage or at the chateau.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLove you buddy \u2013
