Mike Portnoy has been sober for over 17 years, and according to two separate doctors, he wouldn't have lived to 40 years old if he didn't quit drinking.
For the first time ever, Mike Portnoy performed Dream Theater's '12 Step Suite' live while aboard the Cruise to the Edge with a cast of guest musicians.
At Metal Allegiance‘s show in Anaheim, Calif., on Jan. 20, one of the highlights was a rendition of Metallica's "Disposable Heroes" in honor of Cliff Burton.
