The news also confirms that Ottosen’s manager, Terry Pedersen, is on Facebook. He describes the musician as the most passionate person he has ever met.
There is no one with whom I discussed, argued, laughed, and cried. Tommy loved commitment, and in the situations we disagreed with, he was happy if I got angry and showed off emotional, which is what it was. One hundred percent real, among what Pedersen writes.
Ottosen’s album “Smear Your Smiles Back on” was named Aftenposten’s 2008 album. It was also nominated for a Spellemann Award twice, winning in 2013 in the rock category with the album “And the Horse Came Riderless”.
