Beyonce‘s tireless work ethic is one of the highest in the music industry. Her live shows are full of energy and she dances and performs from beginning to end with seemingly boundless energy. Most of that energy was due to Craig Adams, a Houston-based fitness trainer who used to train with Beyoncé, and even worked as a bodyguard from Beyonce‘s former girl group, Destiny’s Child.

But Beyonce’ and the rest of the Knowles family are mourning after finding out that Adams died from COVID-19, according to the singer’s mother Tina Knowles-Lawson.

“He became a part of the touring, and he was security for awhile,” said Lawson during an interview with ABC13’s Melanie Lawson. “If you knew Craig, he just always had a smile on his face.

The 67-year-old died last week after contracting the virus.

“Craig was a fitness trainer and was healthy! This is only the latest of Many friends and family that were lost to Covid,” she continued. “Craig was Beyoncé’s trainer and later security for Destiny’s Child. He was like a family member.”

“Such a beautiful human being, kind, loving, and gentle,” Knowles-Lawson added in her tribute. “RIP Craig we love you!”
