Fact #137190
When:
Short story:
Mike Porcaro, bassist with Toto, dies aged 59, in his sleep at home in Los Angeles, California, USA, following several years of suffering from Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Full article:
David Paich (keyboards, Toto) : He's been going downhill for the last three years here, because it's a very slow, degenerative process. But, again, Mike mentally is fantastic and if you talk to him, his spirits are up and he's great and like the old Mike Porcaro, except that he’s disabled, he’s in a wheelchair and can’t move; can't walk and can't play which is a heartbreaking drag.
