George Jones bass player Ron Gaddis passed away

On August 25, 2023, the news of the demise of famous George Jones bassist Ron Gaddis shocked the music industry. Ron Gaddis’s passing has left fans and fellow musicians lamenting the loss of a true artist who had an enduring impression on the music industry with his extraordinary talents and contributions to countless legendary songs. Keep reading to know more about Ron Gaddis and his cause of death in detail.

Who was Ron Gaddis?

Ron Gaddis was the former bass player in George Jones’ band. Anyone who has ever heard George Jones perform live has undoubtedly already been blown away by Ron Gaddis’ incredible voice. Gaddis has been Jones’ frontman on the road for almost 20 years, playing bass, directing the Jones Boys through their fantastic opening shows, and singing harmony and duets with his illustrious boss.

Gaddis would have long since graduated to a successful solo career in country music’s earlier era. That probably won’t happen anytime soon given the status of modern country radio, but he’s still made his mark with Chip Off The Old Block.

Ron Gaddis, who served as George Jone’s right hand man for over 25 years, was let go from the Jones Boys band. His frequent ‘no showing’ at performances were the cause. Finally, ‘No Show’ Jones and his wife Nancy could no longer stand it.

The Jones aggressively advised Ron to seek treatment for his drug and alcohol addictions, but they did not split ways amicably. Gaddis attempted to start a solo career. Due to the website’s online store being disabled, the two-song CD he released is no longer available.
