“Tyson was born to British immigrants in Victoria and grew up in Duncan B.C. A rough stock rider in his late teens and early twenties, he took up the guitar while recovering from an injury he sustained in a bad fall in the rodeo,” the statement issued by the family read.
According to sources, he died after fighting for his health for quite a long time. Ian was a good pair with his ex-wife Sylvia.
“During the British Invasion in the 1960s, Ian and his wife Sylvia evolved into pioneers of country rock. Their band, Great Speckled Bird, rivaled the Byrds and other groups which helped create a modern country, a decade before the Urban Cowboy phase of contemporary new traditionalists,” sources said.
