peteb Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 His Wikipedia page has said that he has died, but no there is mention of cause of death or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickD Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Both Billy Sheehan and Tony Franklin put up tributes this morning, and I understand Billy and Tim were friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Other tributes online from Mike Portnoy, Carmine Appice, etc. Apparently he died of cancer. Edited January 14, 2021 by peteb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 And his (band) mate Carmine Appice too, so sadly this seems to be true. May he rest in peace.

Geek99 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I’ve got his bass video; he chose to use a six string, which was very confusing for a beginner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 A giant of a bass player. He figured so prominently in so many bands I love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chezz55 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 That's a shame. Tim Bogert's solo in ' Break Song' on side 2 of 'Near The Beginning' is a cracker. Also the 'Beck, Bogert and Appice' version of Superstition is something special. RIP Tim Bogert - an inspiration for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
