We have one less lion of autumn walking with us today. Mike Peters, the leader, heart, and soul of Welsh barnburner rockers The Alarm, saw his body finally give up the fight on April 28, 2025, against the cancer that, in various forms, had plagued him for 30 years. Peters was 66.
Peters fought the good fight with a tenacity that would shame the ordinary person, beating back cancer’s strength with a strength of his own, fueled by an unshakable faith in Jesus that humbles even the strongest among us. He worked at a ferocious pace, touring and recording until it was finally his time to experience firsthand the absolute reality his soul had longed for, even as his work on earth invited everyone to join in with him.
