Bass Guitarist Michael Davis of the incendiary MC5 died on February 17th, 2012 aged 68, of liver failure.
After the MC5, he played in a number of bands, including Destroy All Monsters with Ron Ashton of The Stooges. In recent years, as well as playing in DKT/MC5 he had returned to an early love of painting, contributing works to the recent Punk and Beyond Exhibition at the Signal Gallery in London. With his wife Angela, in 2006 he also launched the non-profit 'Music is Revolution' Foundation.
Rest in Peace Michael.
