Matt “Money” Miller, best known as the founding keyboardist of Titus Andronicus, has died. He was 34 years old.
Titus Andronicus frontman and Miller’s cousin Patrick Stickles shared the news on social media, writing that Miller’s death was “sudden and untimely”. A cause of death has yet to be revealed.
He also shared that Miller was “the dearest friend (he) ever had”.
“You may recognize him as the bartender from the STACKS sitcom — he was also the hypeman on ‘Real Talk’ and a featured backup singer on many, many Titus Andronicus tracks,” Stickles wrote.
“It’s hard to know what to say, but I am trying to put gratitude first, as the 34 years that we spent together will forever be one of my life’s greatest blessings.”
