TORONTO – Canadian pop act Walk off the Earth are paying tribute to their late bandmate Mike Taylor with a new track named in his memory.
“Mike’s Song” is an ode to their former keyboardist, who was affectionately known as “Beard Guy” by his fans.
Taylor died last December from what the band said were “natural causes.”
Members of Walk Off the Earth released the acoustic song on Friday, saying on Twitter its creation was “a therapeutic process” for the band. The song explores themes of moving forward while dealing with the pain of losing someone.
