Guess she passed away over a week ago, January 26th or 27th. May she RIP.
I swear I ask this every damn year and I’m always confused, but . . . . . is she the hard assed looking gal from the Bad Blood era promo pics and so forth?
Found this on FB, from the FornicaTour in '03

Ty Coon is in that promo photo from A.I. movie, I got that in a press kit on ebay years ago. I tried to upload this photo but couldn’t, of Tia and is that Max Brody?

Thx Bobby never saw that one. Yes that’s max in the background.
Tia is a mere footnote in the history of the band, she only played a handful of west coast dates I believe on the 2003 Fornicatour before Rey came back.
Bummer.
Thanks, and yes, I always get her mixed up with Ty Coon . . . which makes things even more retarded when I admit that for some other really dumb reason I always think Ty Coon was a black lady from the early 80’s Ministry.
I really need to brush up on my trivial short term Ministry radar blips.
Never seen that photo, I like. Thanks.
Yeah, she was just a fill-in short-term member for a few tour dates in '03 until Rey came back into the fold.
shit news, RIP [:(]
She was in Lucious Jackson right? And if my memory serves me, she only last a few shows on this tour and was booted for her poor performance.
February 2003 - April 2003.
Quite a legacy.
Explains why when I searched the net for anything about her in Ministry, the only thing I could find was a Blabbermouth article . . . . about her being replaced by Rey.

She was insignificant in the big picture, yes. Just thought I’d share anyway. The only thing I was able to find was Al mentioning her briefly here:

At 10:46, he says: “Tia Sprokett started the tour because Rey had other commitments…”
Considering the interview was conducted on April 7th, 2003, I don’t think she was even in the band a full two months.
Still, sad when anyone passes away early. My money says Al outlives them all.

Yes, I don’t downplay the tragedy of someone’s death. I was just trying to piece the trivia back together. Sympathy for anyone who knew her and may be rocked by this.
weird how none of ministry’s social media pages mentioned this. hm.
Tia Sprocket passed away five years ago… here’s a short video from the Fornica tour in London… you also can see BudTheChud in the front row…
