MESSIAH'S KISS/RIOT Singer MIKE TIRELLI Battling Stomach Cancer

January 15, 2009

Mike Tirelli has been an integral part of the music scene for over 20 years both as a singer and songwriter. His talent and perseverance brought him worldwide recognition performing with such bands as BURNING STARR, RIOT, MESSIAH'S KISS, HOLY MOTHER, LASTLIX and ZILLION, to name just a few.

In the fall of 2008, Mike was diagnosed with stomach cancer and has been undergoing treatment for this life-threatening illness. All the treatments thus far have been a huge success in eradicating this disease.

In March of this year, Tirelli will undergo one last treatment that includes a surgery of the stomach.

With these types of treatments in place, Tirelli has accrued substantial medical bills fighting this battle.

On Sunday, February 8, a benefit concert will be held at Mulcahy's in Centereach, New York. The following artists are scheduled to perform:

NINE DAYS
BIG SHOT (BILLY JOEL tribute)
2U (U2 tribute)
KID GLOVES
SNAKEBITE (WHITESNAKE tribute)
HALF CIRCLE DRIVE
SACRED HEART (DIO tribute)
VISION

Tickets are $20 and are available through Mulcahy's of Centereach, or by contacting one of the above-mentioned bands.
