Charlie Daniels Keyboardist Killed In Crash
The Charlie Daniels Band has canceled two shows because of the death of Joel “Taz” DeGregorio, longtime keyboard player and vocalist for the group.
Daniels said Thursday in a news release that the band canceled concerts Thursday in Cumming, Ga., and Saturday in Waterbury, Conn.
The release said DiGregorio, 67, was killed Wednesday night in a single-car accident on Interstate 40 west of Nashville while driving to meet the band’s tour bus.
DeGregorio was a co-writer of the band’s classic “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” and other songs. Daniels called him “one of a kind.”
Funeral arrangements were incomplete.
