Country music's iconic group Alabama faced an unexpected setback when band member Jeff Cook announced in 2017 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Because of the progressive illness, Cook is no longer able to perform for every show, a fact that is especially heartbreaking for lead singer, Randy Owen.
Singer Randy Owen fell ill and until recently, never explained what happened in his own words. The band's manager, Tony Conway, said vertigo and migraines were the cause of Owen's sickness and assured everyone he was being taken care of by doctors.
Herndon was banished from the band bus to the crew bus in 1984 when he complained that one of the band members kept the cabin temperature unbearably high, according to one story in the book.
While Owen's health has stabilized, Cook's is more tenuous. In 2017, the multi-instrumentalist revealed he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease four years before and wouldn't be able to tour regularly with Alabama.
Randy Owen net worth: Randy Owen is an American country music artist who has a net worth of $50 million. Randy Owen was born in Fort Payne, Alabama in December 1949. Owen is best known for being the lead singer of the country rock band Alabama.
