A celebrated musician has died after a fatal car crash in New Hampshire.

Brooks Young, 42, died Friday morning after a car accident in Alton. Details about the circumstances of the crash have not yet been released.

The married father of three was known to work with many megastars such as BB King, REO Speedwagon and Bryan Adams.

He was a dedicated musician from an early age after his grandfather taught him to play the guitar.

His family said Brooks “was a special person to so many in his music career.”
