Kane Brown tearfully dedicates his CMT Artists of the Year Award to his late drummer, Kenny Dixon.
Brown's emotional pain was readily apparent when the"One Right Thing" singer couldn't keep from crying while accepting an award at this year's CMT Artists of the Year event on Wednesday night.
"Thank you all so much. I want to dedicate this to our drummer Kenny," Brown said, choking back tears as he stood on stage at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, Tennessee. "He started with me coming out of Chattanooga off Facebook. People didn’t think we would make it. He was with me the whole time. He was so supportive of me," Brown said, openingly crying."I love you man, I miss you. The band misses you."
Dixon died on Saturday in a tragic car accident. He was 27. The drummer was set to tie the knot on Nov. 30, with his fiancee, Sarah Hendrick, with whom he shares a young son, Levi. An emotional Brown also thanked his fans, and the country community in general, for all their support, and ended his message with a poignant remark, telling his fellow country singers,"Bless you guys, y'all stay safe."Rest in Peace Kenny. The country community will remember you. 🙏
