Michael Porcaro, RIP.

Mike Porcaro has passed away.

He'd been ill with ALS for a long time, we knew this day would come sooner or later. God rest him, the groove behind many of our musical hearts, I'm sure.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna listen to Tambu and have a good cry.

Thank you for all the fantastic grooves and wonderful memories, Mike.

Well said, Kevin. Glad I've seen him a couple of times live with Toto. Will miss him!

Rest in peace, Mike.

God Damn, why is it always the one's that we love?
He was one of my biggest Influences, he got me into playing Bass
I stood right in front of him at almost all Toto Shows I was to
Now he can Groove with Jeff
It must be so hard for Joe to see his two Son's die so young

Rest in Peace Mike

Terrible news. This has been a crappy month for many of us, losing loved ones and bandmates and - my heart goes out to his circle.

Fair winds and following seas, Mike P.

What an insidious, horrible disease. It took my grandfather. Be at peace, sir.
