LOS ANGELES, CA. (THECOUNT) — Michael Nesmith, the guitarist and singer-songwriter who gained fame as a member of The Monkees, has died, his manager said Friday. He was 78.
“It is with deep sadness that I mark the passing of Michael Nesmith,” Andrew Sandoval said on Twitter. “We shared many travels and projects together over the course of 30 years, which culminated in a Monkees farewell tour that wrapped up only a few weeks ago.”
In 2018, the band postponed the last four dates of their tour after Nesmith became ill. The band said at the time that Nesmith had “a minor health issue” before a show in Philadelphia and was advised to “rest for the next week.”
A cause of death was not provided.
