Australian drummer Lindsay Tebbutt, founding member of Choirboys, has passed away following a battle with cancer.
Tebbutt passed away on Friday morning at 2:18am “with family by his side”, as confirmed by the band.
“Lindsay started playing with Mark [Gable, frontman] in 1977 and this is where it all started for the band,” reads a statement from the band.
“Lindsay was loved by all who knew him. He was funny, intelligent, and very talented not just as a drummer but as a singer and song writer.
“He will be immortalized on our recordings and on the many videos out there. Lindsay contracted Mesothelioma, which unfortunately had no cure, he battled for months but had to surrender.
“He is free now, flying high and laughing with that voice that we were so used to hearing backstage.
“Goodbye you wonderful, beautiful man we will love you forever.”
