Michael Stewart (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael (Mike) Stewart (b. April 19, 1945 - November 13, 2002) was the guitarist for We Five. He was the brother of John Stewart (1939-2008), a one-time member of The Kingston Trio and later a very successful singer/songwriter, and the father of Jamie Stewart, frontman of popular avant-garde group Xiu Xiu. Stewart eventually became a successful record producer, with one of his biggest successes being Billy Joel's Piano Man.

Some reports suggested that his death in 2002 was due to suicide, but his daughter has denied this in an Internet blog.
