Influential and legendary artist Mike Kelley has passed away at his home in Los Angeles, having apparently taken his own life.

Kelley was born in 1954 in a suburb of Detroit. He became involved in the city’s music scene as a teen, and while a student at the University of Michigan, formed the influential proto-punk band Destroy All Monsters with fellow artists Jim Shaw, Niagara, and Cary Loren.
