This IS sad news. He died 12/9 of colon cancer. Are we starting to feel really mortal yet? Messages can be sent to his family at this address: condolences@mikebotts.com. There is also a fund for donations:

Providence St. Joseph Foundation
501 S. Buena Vista St
Burbank, CA 91505

Please include a note with your donation that it is in memory of Michael Botts so his family will get an acknowledgment.

So sad to hear this. I hadn't heard about him being ill, so it comes as a very sad surprise. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

He was an excellent drummer. And from everything I've ever read about him, I got the impression he was also a really nice guy. I also appreciated the road journal he wrote on the last tour. That had to have taken a lot of time and effort to write, and I really enjoyed reading what it was like from a musician's perspective.

May he rest in peace.
