“It is with great pain and sadness that I tell you my son Mikey (Eyedea) has passed away,” she wrote in a statement. “At this time we kindly request your respect and our privacy as we process this devastating loss. We do, however, welcome your kind words, memories, and positive thoughts. We have created a Paypal account and are accepting donations towards the cost of his services.”
