Tim Bachman, a founding guitarist and vocalist of Bachman-Turner Overdrive, has died at the age of 71.
Bachman had been in hospice care after battling brain cancer, and his son announced his passing in a Facebook post. His death comes only a few months after the passing of his brother Robbie (Bto’s longtime drummer) in January.
Tim was one of the three Bachman brothers that helped form the classic rock group, originally under the name Brave Belt. He performed on Bto’s first two albums — Bachman-Turner Overdrive (1973) and Bachman-Turner Overdrive II (1973) — appearing on such hits as “Takin’ Care of Business” and “Let It Ride.”
He left the band in 1974 (replaced by Blair Thornton), citing a desire to spend more time with family, although his brothers claimed he was fired for violating the band’s policy of no alcohol or drugs on the road.
