A band’s leader proved his loyalty years ago in a moment fans will never forget. Back when people complained that Alabama’s drummer Mark Herndon played too loud, lead singer Randy Owen stood firmly by his side. He declared that Mark was their drummer, and anyone who disagreed could leave.
That powerful statement showed the group’s unity. Randy’s defense of Mark made it clear Alabama stood together no matter what critics said. It became a defining moment in their history, remembered as proof of their strong bond.
