I just need to say something about those calling this Mike's first time "leading" the band. He was always the Co-Lead Singer from the very beginning. To comment on his voice being shaky or pitchy during the Celebration is being way over critical. His best friend and bandmate just died. He was very emotional and performing all of these songs that Chester should have been singing with him. Will they go on and do new music? Probably. There is NO replacing Chester by any stretch of the imagination.
This unfortunately is not the first time a band has had to deal with losing a member, (see Queen, Alice in Chains, STP); however I feel like they can still come together and make music to #MakeChesterProud.
