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.

“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.
