‘No suspicious circumstances’ surrounding death of ex-Nazareth roadie Robert Kennedy

Police have revealed there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of well-known Nazareth roadie Robert Kennedy, who died in June.

Mr Kennedy, from Dunfermline, was found unconscious at his home in Halbeath Road on Wednesday June 1 and later died in Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy.

The 63-year-old was a former roadie with legendary hard rock band Nazareth and a well-known figure on the music scene.

He had last been seen on Sunday May 29 with injuries to his face.

Police initially treated his death as unexplained and appealed for the public’s help to piece together his last movements.

They have now said they believe his injuries were caused accidentally.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “Police have concluded that the injuries sustained by Mr Kennedy prior to his death were accidental and there are no suspicious circumstances.”

Mr Kennedy, known as Rab, was the Nazareth roadie for almost 20 years and would often meet friends in local pubs for drinks and go to various venues to watch bands.

He had been out watching the Champions League final on the weekend prior to his death and had gone to the East Post Bar before moving on to the City Hotel.

He then ended up in the Brass House in the early hours of the morning and arrived home shortly after 2am on the Sunday.

His death is said to have come as a great shock to family and friends.

Nazareth band mates announced the death “with great sadness and a collective heavy heart” in a Facebook post at the start of June.
