| Wednesday, October 7, 2009 - Evile bassist passes away | Evile bass player Mike Alexander has died while the band were on tour with the Swedish Death Metal group Amon Amarth.
The up and coming British Thrashers had just begun their European tour when Mike took ill and was taken to hospital in Luleå, Sweden on Monday 05.10.09. He was just 32 years old.
In a statment posted on the bands Myspace, the remaing members commented:
"This is so hard to find the words to express fully how we feel. We can't believe or accept what's happened. One minute we're talking to our buddy, Mike, the next minute we can never speak to him again.
"There's so many things rushing through our heads that we want to say, do and feel. We half expect him to come round the corner and call us 'dickheads'. We can't get our heads around it.
"It upsets us so much that he was away from his family when this happened, although knowing Mike, we're at least glad he was on tour doing what he loves.
"We're lost for words. We all miss him so much already. He was such a headstrong, genuinely nice guy who loved music and his family. We've got so many brilliant memories with him.
"Our hearts go out to his daughter, family and friends at this tragic, difficult time.
"Mike is much loved and is sorely missed.
"Rest in peace, brother."
The thoughts of all RevelationZ staff members and readers are with his friends and family at this difficult time. |
