Billy Strings faced the challenge of performing a concert in Lexington, Kentucky, just after the death of his mother, Debra Apostol. Despite his grief, he decided to honor her memory on stage, sharing his sorrow and reflecting on her love for the audience. Strings expressed how important it was for him to continue with the show, believing it was what his mother would have wanted. His emotional tribute resonated deeply with concertgoers, who supported him through this difficult time.
"This is probably going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done... How tonight's gonna turn out is kinda up in the air, it depends on how much strength I can muster and how much I can lean on y'all."
"She really loved this group of people... The last couple years were some of her happiest because of a lot of you folks right here. Y'all became some of her best friends."
