Kenny Chesney is remembering the life and legacy of famed songwriter and his dear friend, Brett James.

“A very difficult goodbye to my Brother Of The Sun Brett James,” Chesney, 57, wrote via Instagram on Monday, September 22. “I haven’t wanted to post ‘cause I didn’t want to believe it. Brett and I shared a unique bond. A Brotherhood. A kinship. We wrote ‘Reality’ and ‘Out Last Night’ on the same afternoon sitting on my pool deck in the Virgin Islands two days after Christmas.”

The country music star continued, “We had a lot of authentic life fun writing songs together over the years and I’m sure going to miss it. It’s hard to process his creative soul being gone. This kind of loss. I feel as if part of my creative soul went with him. It will be a void in my life and creativity forever.
