Evile bassist Mike Alexander tragically passed away last night (October 5).The four stringer (pictured second from the left) was suddenly taken ill a few days into his band's European tour with Amon Amarth and was rushed to hospital in Lulea, Sweden where he passed away. "This is so hard to find the words to express fully how we feel," said the band in an official statement. "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, the statement continues. "We're lost for words. We all miss him so much already. He was such a headstrong, genuinely nice guy 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."Everyone at K! sends our condolences to his family, friends at bandmates at this sad time.
