Former Weezer Bassist Predicts Own Death
According to an article on Kerrang.com, former Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh predicted on a Twitter post from September 26 that he would die this week - and then was found dead October 8 in a Chicago hotel.
The post reads: "dreamt i died in chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep). need to write my will today."
Eerily, Welsh was found Saturday in a Chicago hotel. According to The Guardian, Welsh's death was not due to cardiac arrest, but resulted from an apparent overdose.
Welsh had quit Weezer in 2001, after he suffered a mental breakdown due to pre-existing conditions of PTSD and severe drug use, culminating in a suicide attempt. After checking into a psychiatric facility, Welsh left music to focus on his artwork.
