King of Country George Strait has added two more dates to his "Strait to Vegas" show in 2019.

Following the success of his "Strait to Vegas" shows, Strait will return to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with special guest Ashley McBryde for two shows on February 1 and 2, 2019.

Tickets go on sale Friday, October 19 at 10 a.m.

However, Strait will be performing without his longtime drummer Michael Kenney, who passed away in a road accident on August 31.

Strait has been mourning the loss and had expressed his deep condolences for his friend and colleague in a long post on social media.

"It's going to be very strange not being able to look over and see him there in his spot on stage and very emotional as well I'm sure for all of us and also his fans...a part of us is gone forever. We all loved Mike and will miss him terribly," wrote Strait "Our hearts and prayers are with his family. The Lord has him now. Rest In Peace my friend."
