Blackberry Smoke honored drummer Brit Turner, who died at 57. 'The most caring, empathetic, driven and endearing person one could ever hope to meet,' the band said.
Country rock band Blackberry Smoke is mourning one of its own: drummer Brit Turner, who died after a battle with brain cancer. 'It is with the deepest sorrow that we inform everyone that our brother Brit Turner has moved on from this life,' the Atlanta group announced in a Monday Facebook post. 'If you had the privilege of knowing Brit on any level, you know he was the most caring, empathetic, driven and endearing person one could ever hope to meet.
Amid news of Turner's death, it's unclear whether the Blackberry Smoke tour will proceed as scheduled. Turner, who used his Blackberry Smoke fame to benefit cancer charities, was diagnosed with glioblastoma in the fall of 2022, according to the band's Facebook post. The Mayo Clinic defines glioblastoma as a type of cancer that 'starts as a growth of cells in the brain or spinal cord.' The cancer grows quickly and can impact and destroy healthy tissue.
