A service for the late Rose Tattoo guitarist Mick Cocks will be held in Sydney on December 30.
Friends and family will gather to honour Mick who passed away yesterday from a relatively short battle with liver cancer. Mick was diagnosed with the disease a year ago and told fans in April.The service will be held at the St Augustine Catholic Church in Eaton St, Balmain at 1pm on the 30th.
The last five years have been devastating for Rose Tattoo. Mick was the forth member to die since 2006, following Ian Rilen and Pete Wells in 2006 and Lobby Loyde in 2007.
A brief statement was released last night announcing Mick’s death. "We're very sad to announce that Rose Tattoo founding member and guitarist Mick Cocks lost his battle against liver cancer and passed away today, on December 22," the statement read.
