Photoshoot for a German magazine. Daniel's arthritis was progressively getting worse during the time of this shoot.
Quote from the photographer:"I was shocked to see him. He was hunched over with pain like an old man and it was obvious he was seriously ill with reactive arthritis. He had to use a walking stick and had so little strength in his left arm that he had to constantly carry his hand. Both of which can be seen in the pictures here. I was convinced he would never play guitar again and would have bet serious money on that. I did the shoot as quickly as possible to minimize the discomfort for Daniel and went out with Ben and Chris to do some solo pictures with them. I shot Chris in front of the first venue they ever played and Ben at their local beach."
