Erv Woolsey was more than a manager; he was a steadfast companion through nearly half a century of George Strait’s career. His passing from surgical complications has left the country music icon grappling with profound grief. Woolsey’s relentless spirit and unwavering support had been a constant force in Strait’s life, making the reality of his absence almost unbearable.
Strait’s sorrow is compounded by memories of Mike Kennedy, his longtime drummer who tragically died in a car accident years ago. These losses mark the end of an era for the singer, whose music was deeply intertwined with these friendships. As he faces the future without them, the silence left behind speaks volumes about love, loyalty, and the fragility of life.
