I’m reading reports that he died after an on-stage heart attack in Fort Worth. Damn.
it’s in wiki… that doesn’t really mean much though… What reports any links Newspapers?

It’s all over the metal forums too. I just texted Gunnar too see if he knows anything about this… this is tragic if it’s true although the only real kind of “proof” so far is that “some dude texted me who was at the show” was written on a couple metal forums

kind of an obscure news item to be skeptical about, no?
Yeah, what reason would anyone have to make this up… although chuck biscuits was even more obscure and there was a “he’s dead” rumor about him before he actually died…same with peter steele.
Who is this Bruce Corbitt fella?
I thought this little post was suspect…
Robin Riels I am so sorry me and others were unable to save him. We tried our best, Bruce!
Why would a nurse or whoever take to facebook to post that? that sounds like something you would say in person.

So long, Mike.
Tragic, i just checked my Facebook and saw it on Tommy Victor’s page, then went looking for news and found this.

Wow, unbelievable, he was only 47. Tommy basically tears into Al on his FB post as well. Fucked up, very sad news, he was a great player.

Who is this Bruce Corbitt fella?
Bruce Corbitt is lead singer for both Warbeast and Rigor Mortis and has also been a best friend of Mikey’s for almost 30 years. Bruce and Mikey are both very dear friends of mine. I chatted with them both this past weekend just before the show. I really wanted to come out for it to celebrate with them as it was also going to be a debut for 6 of the new Rigor Mortis songs from the forthcoming album. But, you know, schedules and whatnot, so I just wished them both well and said I’d talk to them later.
Yes, it is true. Mikey died on stage. It was a birthday bash concert for Bruce’s 50th at the Rail Club in Texas.
I’m crushed. Today I have lost a hero, an inspiration, and a close friend. My prayers and thoughts go out to his lovely wife and kids.
Wow…I’m shocked. Very sad.
I’m currently in Fort Worth. WOW. Didnt know he was in town!!
So young.
RIP
This is so sad. Mikey was the best thrash guitarist of all time. I was always astonished at how under appreciated he was in the genre. Peace to his family.
I thought I watch Mikey…Who is the drummer & keyboardist in the video?
