EVILE Bassist Mike Alexande Dies At 32 - Oct. 6, 2009
<!-- m -->http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbe ... mID=128242<!-- m -->
Just a few days into the band's European tour with AMON AMARTH, bassist Mike Alexander of British thrashers EVILE was suddenly taken ill and rushed to hospital, but tragically passed away in Luleå, Sweden [on Monday, October 5]. He was 32 years old.
EVILE members Matt Drake, Ol Drake and Ben Carter have released the following statement:
"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 hard-on bearer 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."

This leaves me wondering like hell as to what the fuck happened to him and shit. From what I've seen in the videos and from what I've heard so far about them, they all seem to be in good health. This is certainly one of the last things on this world that I was expecting to happen.
At any rate, I wish Ol and the rest of Evile the best and condolences to their fallen comrade and his family. May he rest in peace.

Jebus!!!
really sad to hear this news.
Evile were just killing it in the metal scene.
From the DVD footage he looked like a great dude.
My thoughts go out to the Evile lads, and Mike's family.

I was just doing my usual weekly scan of the wikipedia deaths page
<!-- m -->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_in_2009<!-- m -->
and suddenly saw a member from Ol's band! Holy shit, that is bad news, especially with this new album just getting in the news a lot. Condolences to Ol and the rest of his band.
