Mike Dirnt

Michael Ryan Pritchard (born May 4, 1972) is the bassist for the punk band Green Day. He got the stage name Mike Dirnt from his school days, when he would pretend to play the bass in school, making a noise of someone playing single notes on a bass, which sounded like "Dirnt, dirnt, dirnt."

Marriages and children

Prichard married his girlfriend Anastasia in 1996, and had a daughter named Estelle-Desiree (b. April 1997). They divorced in 1999 because of the pressures of Mike being in Green Day.
