ALL ACCESS extends sympathies to the family, friends and fellow band members of MICHAEL KENNEDY, longtime drummer for GEORGE STRAIT's ACE IN THE HOLE BAND, who died FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. He was 59.
In addition to his 20 years with STRAIT, KENNEDY also logged time with RICKY SKAGGS and BARBARA FAIRCHILD during his career. Posting on INSTAGRAM, STRAIT commented, "Our hearts are broken. It's going to be very strange not being able to look over and see him there in his spot on stage, and very emotional, as well ... the band will never be the same." No word yet on services.
