Bob Heathcote: Celebs Rumors

Suicidal Tendencies, has died at the age of 58 following a motorcycling accident.Heathcote’s son, Chris, confirmed the news in a Facebook post published yesterday (July 24). Part of his message read: “I cannot put words together other than the fact that this is a loss I will hardly recover (if ever), and the fact that he was a hard working father who raised five children, including me.”The post said that Bob died from a motorbike accident. Both the nature of the incident and the time that it happened are unknown.Bob played in Suicidal Tendencies in the late ’80s and contributed to the band’s third album, 1988’s ‘How Will I Laugh Tomorrow When I Can’t Even Smile Today’.

Suicidal Tendencies frontman Mike Muir fell off stage during the band’s show in Ontario, California on Saturday (September 23) – watch the video below.The hardcore punk legends were opening for US metal band Danzig when Muir took a tumble off the front of the stage at the Toyota Arena.The band were playing their opening song of the set, ‘You Can’t Bring Me Down’, which is taken from their 1990 album ‘Lights… Camera… Revolution!’.Footage captured by a fan shows the moment that Muir missteps as he walks near the edge of the stage. A few seconds later, with the aid of a technician, Muir is able to get back to his feet to complete the song, seemingly unaffected by the fall.As well as Danzig, the bands Behemoth, Twin Temple and Midnight were also on the bill.Next month, Suicidal Tendencies will play a number of shows in the US to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut self-titled album, including at New York City’s Terminal 5 on October 15 and two dates at The UC Theatre in Berkeley, California on October 19 and 20.
