The recent passing of Brit Turner, the drummer for the country rock band Blackberry Smoke, has left many in mourning.
Brit’s wife, Shannon Sorrells Turner, shared a heartfelt tribute to him just a few days before his tragic death at the age of 57.
As an incredibly talented musician and loving husband, Brit will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and fans.
Shannon, who has over 2,300 followers on Instagram, often posted content featuring her husband, daughter Lana Jean, and their pets.
Lana Jean, an actress known for her roles in popular TV shows like Stranger Things and Sweet Magnolias, is also a cancer survivor who was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma at a young age.
Brit’s band, Blackberry Smoke, achieved great success with albums like Holding All the Roses and Like an Arrow, topping the US and UK country album charts.
Despite his battle with glioblastoma, Brit continued to inspire others with his passion for music and dedication to raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research.
The band announced Brit’s passing on March 3, 2024, expressing their profound sadness and calling him their “True North.”
Brit’s legacy as a talented musician and caring individual will live on in the hearts of many. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
