"His last days were spent celebrating the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix on the 2008 Experience Hendrix tour. For nearly 4 weeks, the tour had traveled coast-to-coast in an 18-city tour in the US finishing in Portland. In addition to Mitchell, the tour featured Buddy Guy, Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Eric Johnson, Cesar Rojas, David Hidalgo, Aerosmith's Brad Whitford, Hubert Sumlin, Chris Layton as well as Eric Gales and Mato Nanji (Indigenous). Five days after the tour ended Mitchell was found dead at appoximately 3 a.m. on November 12, 2008 in his room at the Benson Hotel in downtown Portland. Mitchell, apparently died of natural causes, Erin Patrick, the Multnomah County Medical Examiner said. An autopsy is planned as of 11/12/2008. He was the last surviving member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, not counting Billy Cox. Mitchell was to leave Portland, on Wednesday, 12 November, and return to his home in England. The Mitch Mitchell Trust has been set up and plans to run the MMT Drug Rehabilitation Through Music Programme based in Bettws, Newport in Wales."
