Old Joad Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 A rock icon, Mike Pinera, died at age 76, according to local Florida outlet St. Pete Catalyst. The musician was the guitarist and frontman for Blues Image which was just one slice of his legacy. The band notably opened for iconic acts like Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Led Zepplin, and the Grateful Dead. After the band split, Mike went on to join Iron Butterfly who only made a single album. However, Mike was formerly the only living member of the rock band, meaning that all five members have now passed. Mike also spent time working with the great Alice Cooper. While Blues Image briefly reunited, Mike focused much of his priority on his two-year stint with the rock legend.
