Heartbreaking for George Strait as he mourns the sad news of someone very special

Country music legend George Strait recently experienced the tragic loss of two close members of his musical family in the same day.

Strait confirmed the deaths of his longtime manager, Eugene Ervine “Erv” Woolsey, and bandmate, Gene Elders, on his Facebook page.

Woolsey, who had been managing Strait since the early 1980s, passed away at the age of 80 after surgical complications. Strait voiced his anguish by saying, “Won’t ever be the same without him.”

On the same day, Strait lamented his loss of Gene Elders, a major part of his Ace in the Hole band since 1984. Strait hailed Elders as a valued “brother” in music, saying, “Me and the band won’t ever be the same without our brother Gene.”

The country music community and fans around the world have extended their deepest sympathies to Strait as he grieves these profound losses.
