Two big icons in totally different styles of music are lost or hurting.
Toby Keith, country music star, proud cowboy and patriot, left us after a strong and valiant battle against cancer. As a cancer survivor myself, with family members both saved from and lost to this insidious blight on humanity, I can once again validate how much cancer does, indeed, suck. RIP, Toby… your fight is done here.
Steve Morse, monster guitarist of the Dixie Dregs and Deep Purple among others, lost his wife Janine after a long cancer fight. Steve left music to be with his wife during her treatment and periods of remission. If you play music and have a wife who supports you in the pursuit of your craft, comes out to shows, and participates in everything from load in, to set up, to merch sales, to tearing it all back down… not to mention being a great partner on all the non-gig days, then you have some concept of the loss this man is wrapping his head and heart around. I wish you all the best, Steve, as you go forward into a different life. Love never leaves.
