"It is with deep sadness and regret that we announce the passing of Shadow Gallery vocalist, Michael A. Baker. Mike suffered a heart attack, Wednesday afternoon, October 29th, 2008. He was 45 years old. Mike was a founding member of Shadow Gallery and for the past 16 years, helped shape the sound of the band with his magical voice. Additionally, he made many appearances on rock records around the world. Those who knew him best were moved by his gentle spirit, sincere kindness , fun nature and passion for both music and sports.

We loved him and will miss him enormously, but he will always be remembered in our hearts and through his music."

Unexpected, but this is the way death knocks on our doors. I started hearing Shadow Gallery after watching 'V For Vendetta' movie. I wasn't really into their music, as they were too progressive for me. But the vocal play'd really nice. I recently lost a great friend, on the same conditions, and I can imagine how his family and friends are sad.

RIP

Kick Ass, Die Young

Less is More
Stay Pure
Stay Poor

Music was my life, music brought me to life and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz in my head that only I can hear.
