| The great Helen Wheels passed away January 17, 2000 after undergoing an unsucessful surgical procedure.
She was a longtime friend of Tish and Snooky and all of us at MANIC PANIC adored her . Way ahead of her time, this daring dame was one of the first ladies of Punk/Heavy Metal, fronting her own band "The Helen Wheels Band" in the early days of CBGB's.
She was a noted singer/songwriter who wrote not only for her own project but for bands like Blue Oyster Cult as well.
This amazing woman was also a title-holding body builder!
