Shortly after The Monkees’ final tour in November 2021, we find out that Michael Nesmith had passed away.

With Peter Tork passing away in Feb 2019 and Davy Jones in February 2012…. Only Micky Dolenz is alive.

Monkees singer and guitarist Michael Nesmith, a pop visionary who penned many of the group’s most enduring songs before laying the groundwork for country rock with the First National Band in the early Seventies, died Friday from natural causes. He was 78.

“With Infinite Love we announce that Michael Nesmith has passed away this morning in his home, surrounded by family, peacefully and of natural causes,” his family said in a statement. “We ask that you respect our privacy at this time and we thank you for the love and light that all of you have shown him and us.”
