R.I.P. Michael “Eyedea” Larsen
Michael 'Eyedea' Larsen has passed away at the tender age of 28. Larsen's mother Kathy Averill, who found him Sunday morning, confirmed the death via Facebook.
"It is with great pain and sadness that I tell you my son Mikey (Eyedea) has passed away. At this time we kindly request your respect and our privacy as we process this devastating loss. On behalf of Mikey's family, close friends and fans, thank you."
Eyedea's mom also created a fund-raising FB page for fans who would like to help with funeral expenses.
While Eyedea remained largely unknown in the mainstream circuit, he was one of Minneapolis' most beloved musical talents.
