The HOH has just learned that Phil Kenemore of Y&T passed away this morning. Our condolences to his family and the band. He will be missed by all in the metal community.
Here’s the note we received from Y&T,
It is with great sadness that I tell you Phil passed away this morning at 1:00 AM. The band, Dave & I, and Phil’s family were all there by his side as he took his final breath. Dave & I are completely spent (it’s now after 4:00 AM), and our hearts are shattered. Dave wrote a brief note, which you can read here and post a comment if you’d like.
Y&T’s Dave Meniketti’s Goodbye to Phil
He was alert and talking and holding my hand, and then barely 24 hours later he’s gone. It’s so hard to believe.
– Jill Meniketti
