Bobby Keys, longtime saxophonist for The Rolling Stones, has died.
Michael Webb, keyboardist for Bobby Keys and the Suffering Bastards,
confirmed Keys' death with the Scene, saying the legendary
musician had been battling cirrhosis and passed away at his home in
Franklin early this morning. He was 70 years old.
A Texas native who’d lived in Middle Tennessee since the early ’90s, in addition to his 40-plus-year tenure with The Rolling Stones, Keys appeared on legendary recordings by John Lennon, Joe Cocker, Barbra Streisand, B.B. King, Carly Simon, Lynyrd Skynyrd and others. More details to come.
