And Corbitt says that, looking back on discussions he had with Scaccia - as well as some out-of-character behaviour in the hours before his death - he should have known something was wrong.

Corbitt tells Robb's Metalworks: "There was this one haunting thing he said to me one time. He said doctors had told him he was probably not gonna live another five years. I think back to the last few days and the last practice we had, a couple of nights before. We were worn out and tired. He said, 'I will be glad when this show is over and I can get back and hang with my family.'

"I remember I was ready to do some shots before we started the show. He kept putting it off, and that's not the Mike Scaccia I knew. I see now that those last few days, Mike wasn't feeling very good. He probably didn't want to play that show that night but he was gonna make sure that he came through for my birthday.
