According to several Twitter feeds and online buzz, artist Dana Key - most noted for being one-half of the classic rock duo DeGarmo & Key, passed away last night. INO Records singer Joy Whitlock tweeted, "Dana Key, my pastor, and also a member of legendary Christian rock band, DeGarmo and Key, passed away last night." In response to questions about why, Whitlock then replied, "it was a blood clot. He had previous health problems, but this was truly unexpected." Dana was only 56 years old.
Please keep the Key family in your special prayers through this difficult time.
