“People say music can save your life, even change the world. Mike Peters believed it, and he lived it from his punk rock roots in North Wales to stadiums around the world. Mike's indomitable spirit led the Alarm with heart grit and fearless optimism. He gave us anthems, like ‘68 Guns,’ Marching On,’ Strength,’ ‘The Stand’--songs that brought you courage when you needed it most. Every word meant something--a call to arms, a battle cry. You were not alone,” Flowers is heard saying the video.
“True to form. When cancer came for him, Mike didn't back down for 30 years. He faced it head on with his wife Jules. He turned his personal battle into a crusade to save others,” he added. “They created the Love Hope Strength Foundation. They turned every concert, every mountain into a lifesaving hope giving force.
“With Jules and their boys by his side, it was all in. They carried it as warm--the music, the mission, the fight, and somewhere tonight in a crowd or on a mountaintop, the spirit is still marching on forever by our side,” Flowers concluded.
The tribute touched fans still in shock over Peters’ death. “An amazing tribute to an amazing person ❤️?,” wrote one, while another added, “Beautiful tribute to a beautiful human xx?❤️?.”
“Beautiful tribute! Rest easy Mike and know you have made the world a better place,” another fan added, while yet another wrote, “Heart breakingly brilliant.”
Another fan simply added, “No words. ❤️.”
