Rockers We’ve Lost in 2011: Mikko Laine

loading...

One of the saddest and most bizarre deaths of 2011 was that of Sole Remedy guitarist, Mikko Laine. Laine was reportedly sleeping backstage next to a fence after playing the ProgPower Festival in Holland, when a truck filled with stage equipment backed over the guitarist, ending his life. Laine was only 30 years old at the time of his death. Sole Remedy posted a tribute to Laine on their website, Mikko was a vibrant, happy and funny person with lots to offer to the world. We had the best times with him and we’ll be remembering him with warmth and smiles on our faces, hope you do too!"
