RIP Phil Kennemore of Y&T

[KJShover]

Y&T rocker Phil Kennemore has died at the age of 57 after losing his battle with lung cancer.
The bassist passed away in the early hours of Friday morning (07Jan11) at Stanford Hospital in California.
The sad news was confirmed by Kennemore's Y&T bandmate Dave Meniketti, who paid tribute to his longtime pal in a post on the group's website. He writes,

"It is with profound sadness and disbelief that I tell you that my best buddy for 37 years passed away this morning... Bravely and steadfastly battling the horrible spectacle of lung cancer, at the end he was surrounded by his family members, and the Y&T family up until his final breath...
"He had an amazingly strong life force that has influenced everyone who ever had the opportunity to be called a friend of his. I am forever grateful for our lifelong friendship... I will miss his sense of humour, his amazing wit, but most of all I will always miss not seeing him to my left on the stages I will play from this moment forward."
