Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford and his wife have split after 17 years of marriage. According to documents obtained by PEOPLE and first reported by The Blast, Aleece Dimas made the filing against Commerford on Nov. 28 in a Los Angeles County court.
The rocker confirmed the news in a statement to PEOPLE. “After 17 years of marriage to Aleece Dimas, I am saddened to announce our divorce. This decision was made after much careful thought and consideration. I want to send my deepest appreciation to my family and friends who have supported us through these changes.
