What happened to Tim Bachman?

Canadian vocalist and guitarist, Tim Bachman has been announced dead by his son, Paxton.

He died after suffering complications of cancer that spread throughout their brain. In 2008, he suffered a heart attack and subsequently underwent quadruple bypass surgery.

“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. 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,” Paxton announced Tim’s death via a Facebook post.

At the beginning of his career, Bachman played guitar in a couple of area bands in Winnipeg but quit eventually because he believed his time in Winnipeg had become stagnant.

He revisited his career in 1972 after taking a long break from music at a young age. He collaborated with his brother Randy to add a second guitar to the Brave Belt lineup, after the departure of Chad Allan.
