KIX Calling It Quits
KIX will play its final live show together on September 17 at Merriweather Post Pavilion near Baltimore, Maryland.
During his announcement, Whiteman said that his health is starting to fail. We already know drummer Jimmy Chalfant is having issues and of course guitarist Ronnie Younkins has been fighting for his sobriety the last couple of years.
The news is sad but not unexpected. Our favorite bands have been around for decades now and we can’t expect them to perform live forever. KIX still has a lot of dates booked over the summer before that final show. If you haven’t seen them live, this is literally your last shot.
The band is choosing to make this decision as a group and on their own terms. Good for them and I wish them well. I will miss them on the live scene.
