Original ANGEL Bassist MICKIE JONES Loses Battle With Cancer - Sep. 6, 2009
Mickie Jones, original bassist and founding member of the '70s rock band
ANGEL, passed away yesterday (Saturday, September 5) in San Dimas, California
after a long battle with liver cancer. His family said he died "peacefully
and beautifully."
Mickie performed on four ANGEL albums — "Angel" (1975), "Helluva Band"
(1976), "On Earth As It Is In Heaven" (1977) and "An Anthology" (1992;
compilation). He toured extensively with ANGEL in the United States for
several years and took part in the band's infamous Japanese tour. Before
ANGEL, he played in the rock group BUX, which included guitarist Punky
Meadows (ANGEL) and singer Ralph Morman (JOE PERRY PROJECT, SAVOY BROWN). BUX
released one album on Capitol Records, "We Come To Play", in 1976. Both Jones
and Meadows were asked to join the NEW YORK DOLLS but declined. After leaving
ANGEL, Jones formed the L.A. band EMPIRE (which also included L.A. GUNS
drummer Steve Riley), in which he handled lead vocals. Over the years, Mickie
became interested in film production and later worked in the film industry.
