Metal Church vocalist Mike Howe has died, according to a statement from the band.

"It is with our deepest regrets that we must announce the passing of our brother, our friend and true legend of heavy metal music. Mike Howe passed away this morning at his home in Eureka, California," the statement read. "We are devastated and at a loss for words. Please respect our privacy and the Howe family’s privacy during this most difficult time."

Howe first appeared with the band on their 1989 album, "Blessing in Disguise." He left Metal Church in 1997 before rejoining in 2015.

He was 55 years old.

"Fake Healer"

Saw Metal Church a few years ago and met him and the rest of the band for a minute. Makes this hard to fathom. RIP.

This one really hurts. Metal Church is one of my all-time favorite bands, and Mike's one of my favorite vocalists. Gonna blast Hanging in the Balance tonight for my man Mike.

Apparently, Mike hung himself. I hope he finally found his peace....

The struggles are real fellas. If you're not feeling well, go talk to a licensed professional or doctor before things spiral out of control.
