[@bunnytheeast5696]

What a beauty!

[@jenniluwhitney123]

And he still had his beautiful accent! The saddest thing were the bad influences that came into his life and took over his career, leading to him dying at just 62! I'll always remember him as that sweet-faced 17 year old!

[@rosemariegray4007]

My Own Mother died @ 62, Too in 1986! This up coming my Birthday- 01/01/1960! Will be Mine, 63. I will have outlived my Mother by 1 year!!

[@eugeniasyro5774]

He died of throat cancer. Not of a bad influence.

[@8angst8]

Ian was a substitute in the BCR for about 6 months. (The song featured here was written many years earlier by Eric and Woody.)

@@daverat7549 Unfortunately Ian smoked a lot and it's the cause of his throat cancer. He was a bad boy with a sweet loving personality.

Who plugged him in

[@silvialiplijn3197]

I actually never knew Woody's family is from Ireland too!

[@501sqn3]

Good God !!, That is soooooo bad! 😱. Shocking!.

[@Mr-pn2eh]

It's ironic because Ian Mitchell is actually Irish. Although to most American fans they probably won't be able to tell the difference.

[@fireballproductions4110]

What's more ironic is that Duncan Faure was from South Africa and lots thought he was from Scotland too. At least Irish accents is closer to Scottish accents.

[@steveedwards5618]

He is talking g like he was there from the beginning and after replacing Alan he only lasted 6 month

[@rabfallon4507]

Nice fivehead Ian

[@tonypastor705]

Really like that singer- but that hair- style was terrible 😅, not like how he had it before! It looks like he’s going bald!

[@paulrogers7067]

Hardly a member just short term . Shouldn't be cashing in with the name.
