Neil Lasher, who became best known as an intervention specialist in the 2010s after decades in the music industry, has died from“Neil was a kind and gentle soul who cared deeply about his friends as well as total strangers,” Jason Flom, who has headed up several record labels and now leads Lava Publishing, wrote on Instagram. “Rest in peace my friend, you are gone but not forgotten.
In 2012, Lasher was one of the honorees at the eighth annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert after he had become a certified alcoholism and substance abuse counselor. Sober for a quarter-century at that point, he was active in creating alcohol and substance abuse programs for those in the music industry, and served as a consultant for MusiCares and its Safe Harbor Room program.
“I’ve been very fortunate to have two rewarding careers — one in the music industry and one in the field of addiction recovery,” Lasher said at the time. “I’ve made countless friends in both, and have wonderful memories spanning many years. And because I’ve seen the ravages of addiction take their toll on artists, crew members, myself, and others who work in the music business, I’ve been a supporter of the MusiCares MAP Fund from the very beginning.
