March 26, 1986 – May 28, 2011
Tyler Gunn was the guitarist for up-and-coming Brisbane, Queensland band, Flannelette. Formed in 2010, the hard rock group had been building a regional following thanks for their dynamic live shows and recently self-released EP. The band members were driving home from a gig on the Gold Coast when their van was reportedly struck by a semi-trailer as they were attempting to pull off the road after experiencing engine trouble. Tyler Gunn (age 24), bassist Mick Fisher (age 30), and a female companion died as a result of their injuries. Singer/guitarist Matt Campbell, who was reportedly driving the van, survived the accident.
