Kenny Edwards

Obituary

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kenny Edwards, an original member of the Stone Poneys country-rock band and longtime collaborator with singer-songwriters Linda Ronstadt and Karla Bonoff, has died in California at age 64.

A statement on his website says he died Wednesday.

The Los Angeles Times reports Edwards was hospitalized earlier this month in Denver after collapsing while on tour with Bonoff. He was airlifted to a hospital near his home in Santa Barbara where he died.

After the Stone Poneys disbanded after their 1967 breakthrough hit "Different Drum," Edwards formed the folk-rock band Bryndle with singer-songwriter Wendy Waldman, Bonoff and Andrew Gold.

He also was a supporting guitarist and singer for Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Brian Wilson, Art Garfunkel, Vince Gill and others.

Not sure what to say?

I knew Kenny and his mother Carol from LRY in the 60’s. I just decided to look him up. I am sorry to learn of his passing.

Gone too soon, he was such a great musician...one of my favorite bass players in fact. RIP Kenny Edwards...

Met him at the blackjack table years ago when he was in Linda band. Super nice guy and we shared several laughs and drinks together. I asked him to get me a date with Linda and he just laughed and bought me a drink. Just like talking to a buddy of mine. Very nice man and my life was made better by this one chance encounter. I great person. RIP my friend.

Rest in peace Kenny.

So sorry to see you go. I will miss you. Brenda (Haverhill MA)

Kenny, we can't believe we won't be having Christmas and Channuka with you forever. Maybe we will in another form. Your presence on this planet made the world a better place. Thank you for all the beauty you brought to the world and for your honesty and egolessness. We'll miss you.

Kenny, so sorry you are gone. I have you playing on my Linda Ronstadt albums. Wonderful talent. Glad we could share that with you. Say hello to Mike Botts & get a band going into eternity!
