Sad news come from the U.S because thrashers Forbidden just announced that former guitarist Tim Calvert (also in Nevermore from 1997-2000) has died. He was in Forbidden from 1990 to 1997 and also played on and contributed to Nevermore's concept album Dreaming Neon Black.

Guitarist Craig Locicero posted on the band's Facebook: "Beyond sorrow. We just found out Tim Calvert has passed. Some have known he was battling an aggressive form of ALS for a while now. It was all very private as per his wishes. The greatest songwriter, musician and guitarist I have ever had the pleasure or creating music with has left the building. Tim's genius will live on forever in the 3 Forbidden records he helped create with us. Rest in Peace, Tim."

Jeff Loomis posted on his Instagram account: "Truly a sad day today to learn about the passing of my dear friend and fellow bandmate Tim Calvert. Not just an incredible guitarist and songwriter, but one who followed his love and passion for aviation to become an airline captain. To this day I'm blown away by all of his accomplishments. ALS is a horrible disease and took my friend away far too soon. May you Rest In Peace Tim."
