Matt "Money" Miller — a co-founding member of Titus Andronicus and the group's first keyboard player — has died. While a cause of death has yet to be revealed, the band's singer Patrick Stickles, who is also Miller's cousin, broke the sad news late last night (March 17). Miller was 34.
"It is with a heavy heart that I announce to you the sudden and untimely death of Matt 'Money' Miller, founding keyboardist of Titus Andronicus, cover model of A Productive Cough, lead vocalist of Home Alone (On Halloween), my beloved cousin and the dearest friend I ever had," Stickles wrote.
He added, "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. 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."
While Miller did not usually tour with Titus Andronicus, as Strickles points out, his credits are all over their album, including on such efforts as 2010's The Monitor, 2015's The Most Lamentable Tragedy and 2018's Home Alone on Halloween EP.
