Rock Legend’s Final Ride: Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s Tim Bachman Passes Away at 71

The co-founding guitarist and vocalist of Bachman-Turner Overdrive “Tim Bachman” is no more among us.

Tim’s son, Paxton Bachman informed the news through a Facebook post on Friday that his father died from complications with cancer “throughout his brain.”

“My Dad passed this afternoon. Thank You Everyone for the kind words, Grateful I got to spend some time with him at the end. Grab yer loved ones and hug em close, ya never know how long you have.” he said

Paxton also shared the final moment with him “I sat with Dad yesterday afternoon and reminisced about some of the good times we had, he was pretty out of it most of the time, but at one point looked up at me with really, big wide eyes and said, ‘I love you, Paxton, keep sharing the music…’ and then passed back out.”

“It’s really hard watching your parent lay in bed helpless and sick and there’s nothing you can do to help them. Breaking my heart. Thankful for the time we got to spend together.” he concluded.

Tim Bachman died at the age of 71. Tim’s death is announced after his brother and fellow bandmate Robbie died at age 69 in January.
