Venice, California crossover thrash/hardcore punk legends Suicidal Tendencies announced on their Facebook page last night that their bassist Tim “Rawbiz” Williams, who has been part of the band for nearly four years, died. The band wrote:
“It’s with complete sadness that we have to announce the passing of bassist Tim “Rawbiz” Williams. Tim played bass for Suicidal Tendencies for almost four years until recently. Tim was a monster on bass, running around on stage in the pit, giving his all, even when his body wasn’t at its best. We will always remember him and appreciate all the kind words by those that were touched by his bass playing and him personally.”
Suicidal Tendencies have not yet announced a replacement for Rawbiz, but they still plan to tour with Slayer and Exodus this fall.
