Tim Very, historic drummer for the Atlanta indie rock band Manchester Orchestra, has died at the age of 42.
The group announced its disappearance on social networks on Saturday. Neither the date nor the cause of death was specified, but the training mentioned a “sudden death”.

After joining the band in 2011, Very has played on the band's last three studio albums: Cope (2014), A Black Mile to the Surface (2017) and The Million Masks of God (2021). Manchester Orchestra released their latest EP, The Valley of Visionin 2023.
