Rocker found dead after eerie Twitter prediction

THE former bassist of rock band Weezer has died of a suspected overdose – after predicting the exact time and place of his death on Twitter. 

Mikey Welsh, who was part of the group from 1998 to 2001 – was found unconscious in a Chicago hotel room on Saturday.

On September 26 he had penned an ominous message on his Twitter feed, saying: "dreamt i died in chicago next weekend (heart attack in my sleep). need to write my will today".

Shortly after, he added: "correction: the weekend after next".

Welsh, 40, who was found unresponsive on the floor of his hotel room when he failed to check out, was in the city to see his former band play.

He performed on the quartet's 2001 album Weezer, which included singles Hash Pipe and Island In The Sun.

He left the band shortly afterwards after having suffered a nervous breakdown.   Read Here
