| (as far as I'm aware noone else posted this, but sorry if I'm wrong) I was just having a look at Mike Baker on Wikipedia, after having read up on Ayreon's The Human Equation and my heart sank when I read he had passed away only last week. I made sure to check elsewhere as Wikipedia isn't the most reliable of sources, but turns out it was also on Blabbermouth. - Quote :
- Vocalist Michael A. Baker of progressive power metallers SHADOW GALLERY died on Wednesday afternoon, October 29, 2008 after suffering a heart attack. He was 45 years old.
Mike was a founding member of SHADOW GALLERY and for the past 16 years, helped shape the band's sound with his magical voice. Additionally, he made many appearances on rock records around the world.
According to a statement from SHADOW GALLERY, "Those who knew Mike best were moved by his gentle spirit, sincere kindness, fun nature and passion for both music and sports. He was a warrior in the studio, a true professional. Mike was our friend, our singer and our brother. We loved him and will miss him enormously, but he will always be remembered in our hearts and through his music."

By all accounts, he was really great guy, and it's a tragic loss to have him pass at such a young age. R.I.P. Mike, and my thoughts are with your family and friends. _________________ | |

| General music forum? No wonder I didn't see it. Someone delete this doppelganger, then. _________________ | |
