“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’s death comes three months after his brother Robbie died at the age of 69 back in January.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive were a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, founded by brothers Randy Bachman, Robbie Bachman, Tim Bachman, and Fred Turner in 1973.
Older brother Randy shared the heartbreaking news of Robbie’s death on his Twitter account on January 12.
“Another sad departure,” he wrote. “The pounding beat behind BTO, my little brother Robbie has joined Mum, Dad & brother Gary on the other side.
“Maybe Jeff Beck needs a drummer! He was an integral cog in our rock ‘n’ roll machine and we rocked the world together.”
