Mike knott, the legendary singer and song writer of a slew of bands has passed away. The news of his death was shared on social media by loved ones. Mike was most notably L.S.U (Life Savers Underground).
Joel A Kircher shared a tribute on social media – “I found and knew and Loved Michael Knott’s music differently than most. I heard him first solo acoustic with a straw cowboy hat on his head. And to this day, this is the most compelling iteration of his music to me. He was improvisational, changing tempo and lyrics on a dime. He put all of his being into communicating the souls of his songs…the soul of his being.
Later on, I became more acquainted with his visual art, his several bands and their output, as well has his theatrical, borderline goth performances. All worthy. All intense and real. But at its core, all this stuff was centered on these sacred moments he created, where he screamed into the void, feeling it all, and asking all the questions that we the listeners had always carried, but had never before dared to voice…
Enter into your rest, Michael. You’ve been seen with a stiff lip. It happens to the best when the pain grips. Beaten by the bell in all you do. But now Heaven is the place you’re going to”
