Born in 1972 in the small farming community of Hanna, Alberta, Canada,
Mike Kroeger is the bass player for post-grunge powerhouse
Nickelback. He is the older half-brother to the band's lead singer and guitarist,
Chad Kroeger, and is responsible for
Nickelback's name, as it's apparently derived from the amount of change he would give customers for a cup of coffee while working at Starbucks. ~ Corey Apar
