The Overtones band member from Cork has sadly died at the relatively young age of 36-years-old.
Originally from Cork, the band's lead singer reportedly died from skin cancer.
The five-piece band originally formed in 2010 and were originally called DYYCE. Their debut album 'Good Ol' Fashioned Love' stormed up the charts into the top five, going on to sell a cool half million copies.
In total, they released five albums, four of which were top 10 successes.
Paying tribute in a joint statement, the band members said: "It is with the greatest sadness that we have to announce that our dear friend and brother Timmy has passed away. We know this news will be as heartbreaking for you all as it is for us. We appreciate your love and support at this difficult time. Mike, Darren, Mark & Lachie x."
I’m so terribly sorry to hear this and sending lots of love to you all and particularly Timmy’s family and his many friends ?
