Country music is finished now. R.I.P Keith. ❤
Love Keith's music. Your missed. RIP.
Nice tribute..you got all the dates right which for years no one else has been able to do. A lot of those pictures in this are my personal photo's. I was with Keith for nearly 9 years and also from the Crowe days. In all those years I never saw Keith take a drink of anything. No one in the band drank so there was never any alcohol on the bus. Lorrie said herself she'd never seen Keith drink anything but tea and diet Pepsi. He never died of alcohol poisoning and hopefully one day the truth will prevail.
Nice video. I enjoyed it. It is a shame he left way soon. He had just started scratching the surface of his awesome songwriting talents.

Ingesting hair spray led to his demise.

@@haze61151The police reported number of empty beer cans along with 5 half empty cans of hair spray within the home at the time he was dicovered dead. According to Lorrie Morgan's autobiography, her first cousin Layne Palmer found Keith dead and stated to Lorrie that it was the hair spray that killed him. His band members also witneesed Keith would drink anything, such as cologne, windex, listerine, and 409 cleaner. Lorrie would also try to only buy toiletries that didn't contain alcohol and she wouldn't let him go to the bathroom by his self because he would drink anything. It is beyond sad that that the probable best country singer ever was a severe alcoholic who resorted to drinking absolutely anything.

@@shanehale5215 I have the original police report and it says nothing of the sort. As for the band members, only one spoke of such things cause he was told to to keep his job at the time. I also have the autopsy report and it's chilling at best. Like I commented in the post below this one. I was with him nearly 9 years and never wittnessed anything like what you're saying. I also lived with him in Nashville while he was getting his career started. Never a problem. You can believe what you want, but I was there.
