Brockie was Oderus Urungus, the singer in the heavy metal band known for its elaborate costumes and crude stage shows.
The band had recently returned from its first shows in Japan, and was celebrating its 30th anniversary.
"We were and still are provocateurs," Brockie told “Style Weekly” last year. "We're just a bunch of guys with warped senses of humor spit balling the most evil ideas that we could think of, to hold up a twisted mirror to the culture."
