Ceptorman Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 RIP Mike, your music will live on. He had another brother, Jeff, who died at 38, was a fantastic drummer. Jeff also played with Toto, among other bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxr dad Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Wow, I did not know about the 3rd brother. I like the Blu Ray concert 25 th Anniversary. Is that the 3rd brother playing keys in that concert? At first, I was hesitant to buy it but I'm glad I did. That is a great concert, and had actually forgot they sang Hold The Line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 one of the brothers died from a freak allergic reaction to weed killer the kind you squirt out of the bottle got some on his hands and that was that. Very sad to hear this news my heart felt thoughts go out to the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left the band in 86 to fulfill a solo and film soundtrack career, and also played in other bands. He did come back in 2010 to play with them in concerts, especially a 2013 35th anniversary concert, but I don't believe he played on the 25th ann. concert.

mark1101 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Check out how many players played in Toto sometime. The history of the players is incredible. Like some sort of musical training ground. Some even left and came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy W Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Probably a dozen or more years ago I missed what was probably my only chance to see Toto in Indy. I found out about the concert the next day. I was heart sick. They are BY FAR my favorite band. RIP Mike. May you have a joyful reunion with your brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
