Kid Rock has announced that he has canceled his previously confirmed appearance at the upcoming 2016 Detroit Music Awards. The event is scheduled to take place on April 29 and Rock pulled out of the event following the sudden passing of his assistant Mike Sacha. Sacha was killed in an ATV accident on Rock's property in Nashville earlier this week.

"We offer our condolences to the family of Mike Sacha and to Kid Rock and his organization at this terrible time. We certainly understand and agree that this is not the right time for a celebration," the DMAF Board says in a statement. "The Distinguished Achievement Award would only be a reminder of this week's tragedy rather than a commemoration of a significant career as an artist and humanitarian. We look forward to presenting the award some time in the future when it can be a positive, celebratory experience."
