Sad to report that longtime KCFX-FM (101 The Fox)/Kansas City afternoon host, Brian "Slacker" Adams, has died. He passed away on Tuesday, April 16 after a battle with cancer. Slacker, a 33-year veteran of Kansas City radio, was on-air at 101 The Fox for the last 16 years. He was 59.
"It is with a broken heart that we share with you that our friend Slacker has passed away due to complications from AML. His wife Jennifer and daughter Brianna were with him at home as he left this life. We know you'll join us at 101 The Fox in expressing your heartfelt condolences to Slacker's family," wrote 101 The Fox in Kansas City.
"Slacker had two great passions - his family, and his time on the air in Kansas City. For over 33 years, the last 16 at 101 The Fox, Slacker loved to entertain his radio audience. He helped Veterans with Cars 4 Heroes and many other charities. He pointed out the little absurdities we all deal with, making us laugh at him and ourselves. Named Radio Legend by his peers, Slacker was a voice of, and for, Kansas City. Sadly, that voice is now silent," the Cumulus Classic Rock outlet said.
101 The Fox will air a one-hour Slacker Special Wednesday night at 6pm Central. In the special, Slacker talks about his favorite interviews, music, and what he loved about being on the radio in Kansas City.
