January 7, 2011

Bassist Brian Wheat (pictured below) of Californian rockers TESLA has released the following statement:

"It is a very sad day. I've just found out that one of my all-time bass heroes, Phil Kennemore [of Y&T] has passed away.

"I always enjoyed him and his sense of humor. And the way he played the bass, even though he always gave me shit for using a pick.

"I am so sad I didn't get to see him before he went.

"I did have a great long conversation with him when he first got sick.

"I love you, Phil.

"Love is real, my brother bass player."
