Manchester Orchestra drummer Tim Very has died at the age of 42. The band from Atlanta announced this sad news on social media on February 14. They shared that they are still in shock about his passing, and they did not give a cause of death.
Tim Very started playing drums when he was a teenager in Pensacola, Florida. His father was a drummer, and Tim got inspired by famous drummer Dave Grohl of Nirvana. He told a podcast in 2022 that he took time to find his identity as a musician, but he always knew he wanted to play the drums.

Tim became the band’s longest-serving drummer, appearing on their last three studio albums: Cope in 2014, A Black Mile to the Surface in 2017, and The Million Masks of God in 2021. This year, they will release a live album in March.
