WOW I really dont know what to say, I just started getting into Shadow Gallery's music mainly because of the vocals, Mike was an amazing vocalist and will be remembered... This is really sad, he was so young.... Heart attack at 45? I think no one deserves this

Agreed, totally unexpected, that was what first came to my mind. I'll probably listen to Gallery, to honor him in someway... RIP

I just reveal in my mind the lyrics from Ayreon's "Loser": "I'LL STILL COME OUT LAUGHING, CAUSE ME?.. I NEVER FAIL!.." Yeah! You really never failed, Mike... Rest in peace, we love you...

Oh no. He was one hell of vocalist and such a great person, from the videos and footage I've seen of him.. Rest in peace!

This totally sucks. He had his fun, going back to the place he doesn't call home.
