– Steve Kellough,
of the popular country
music band Wild Horses
was seriously injured
yesterday in a work
related incident at a
local Steel Fabricating 
Plant
in
Belton
,
Texas
. A
roll of metal weighing
many tons fell across both
of his legs. His left leg
had to be amputated below
the knee and his right leg
is severely broken and has
been partially repaired
with pins. He also
suffered a broken hand and
minor damage to his head.
The family and the band
members request that
everyone remember Steve
and his family in their
prayers.
Mark
Stephen Kellough
(Shown here on lower left
corner of the CD cover)
was born October 29 in
Evansville
,
IN.
The son of a minister,
Kellough started singing
gospel music at age five
and added bass guitar
after his mother taught
him to play when he was
12. Prior to joining Wild
Horses, he sung
professionally in a gospel
quartet; not exactly what
the handsome bass player
is known for these days.
His charismatic
personality and wild
antics on stage have
endeared him to the more
rowdy country music fans.
Kellough
is married to wife, Lisa,
and they have three
children. Other members of
the band are Angela Rae,
Michael Mahler, and
Ralph McCauley. The
entire band relocated back
to
Texas
in April of this year,
which is where their
career got its start.
Wild
Horses
has been together for 15
years and has acquired a
large and devoted
following; affectionately
referred to as "The
Herd." They had
a top 40 single, “I
Will Survive”, while
recording for Sony Epic
and their videos were
popular on CMT
and GAC.
