Just a day after country singer Craig Strickland was discovered dead, his former bandmates are debuting heartwarming footage of the singer in his final music video with the group.
For more than three minutes, fans get their last glimpse of the Backroad Anthem singer in the group's newest music video for their song "Torn" shared on Facebook on Tuesday night. The handsome musician is unmissable throughout the sequence, sporting a red shirt as he grins and grooves with his pals.
"Last year we shot a music video for our song, Torn," the group posted on Facebook. "We wanted to finally release the video and share with everyone so you could have a chance to see Craig doing what he loved. We are so proud of how it turned out, and we know Craig was too."
The 29-year-old country crooner's body was discovered Monday, following a week-long search after he didn't return from a duck-hunting trip in Oklahoma with his friend Chase Morland.
When the boat the duo was reportedly using was discovered capsized and Morland was later found dead in the woods, a search was launched.
While his wife Helen Strickland confirmed that Craig's dog Sam had been found, unfortunately a week later, a spokesperson for Oklahoma Highway Patrol confirmed to E! News that Craig's body was recovered and the family was notified.
Upon learning the news, his bandmates expressed their overwhelming fondness of their dear friend.
"Today we lost our brother, our best friend, our bandmate," they shared. "Craig was the most amazing person whose passion for life couldn't be matched."
Hopefully this new video will help family, friends and fans closure after this heartbreaking loss.
