THis has been finally announced...on the inside we have known of Mike's illness for along time. He is a brave man and please send your best thoughts for him and his family

Damn, my heart just drops whenever I hear of anyone suffering from this cruel disease. Kim's father was stricken with ALS 21 years ago. Thoughts and prayers for Mike and his family.

It's great that Toto is getting together for a brief tour, but I am saddened by the news about Mike Porcaro. His family has already had to deal with tragedy. Life's just not fair sometimes. Good vibes, thoughts, and prayers going out on his behalf.

I'm devastated to hear about Mike...one of my favourite bassists ever...he could play with such feel. I knew that health reasons kept him from touring with Toto for the band's last year or two...but ALS? Truly tragic. Thoughts and prayers on their way to Mike and family.

Sad to hear about Mikes condition. But I do hope (and i'm confident) they won't pass Holland on their tour. If they plan a gig over here, i'll be there.

Terrible news about Mike. At least we got Toto back briefly. It's sad that they have to tour Europe, and not their homeland. I never got to see Toto live, these guys are great players to see.

very sad news. Here's hoping the tour brings happiness and lasting memories for all the guys.

I'm speechless

First Jeff, then now Mike the Porcaro's are paying a high price ....

Mike was always THE MAN behind the groove in Toto, even after Jeff passed away.
I always wondered what kept him from touring with Toto the last years, so I am really sad to hear that he is suffering from ALS.

My best wishes go out to him and his family.

Thoughts go out to Mike and his family

When I first saw the TOTO announcement on Facebook, I was absolutely happy....then I saw the devastating news. These guys have been so influential to my own musical development, I learned a lot from them about putting it all together...then Jeff passed away, that was a total shock. And now the suffering comes back to the same family

All my best vibes and wishes go out to Mike, a truly good man. My thoughts are there, brother!
