In late 2001, a close friend of Pat's, Carrie Hamilton, Carol Burnett's daughter was diagnosed with lung cancer. Pat left Atlanta and returned to Los Angeles to be by her side. He spent almost the entire year in Los Angeles with her and her family supporting her through her illness. In January, 2002, upon Miss Hamilton's urging, he returned to do another Glitterdome show in Atlanta. On January 20, 2002, immediately after his performance, he learned that Carrie Hamilton had died. Pat returned to Los Angeles and took part in a six page long interview in the November issue of Popular 1 magazine. The article includes never before seen pictures of Pat Briggs. The interview was done in July 2008, only a few weeks before the news of the reunion of Psychotica, who signed with Toxic Shock Records.
