Keith Strickland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keith Strickland (born Julian Keith Strickland, 26 October 1953, in Athens, Georgia) is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and one of the founding members of the The B-52's.
Originally, Strickland was the band's drummer, but following the 1985 death of Ricky Wilson, the band's guitarist and another founding member, he moved from the drums to guitar. Strickland has also played keyboards on many of the B-52's recordings, and has sung backup vocals on a handful of songs.[1]
Like both other male members of the B-52's, Strickland is openly gay.[2]
