About Mikey Welsh
Michael Edward Welsh was an American artist and musician who played bass for several bands, including the rock band Weezer. During Weezer's hiatus, he played with Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo in the band Homie, during Cuomo's time in Boston.

Shortly afterwards, he retired from music to focus on his painting career. Welsh died from a drug overdose on October 8, 2011.
