The global gospel community is in mourning following the death of legendary worship leader Dr. Ron Kenoly, who passed away on Tuesday morning, February 3, 2026, at the age of 81. His transition was confirmed by several fellow artists and his longtime music director, Bruno Miranda, who described Kenoly as a “spiritual father” whose ministry helped define the modern era of praise and worship.
Prominent Nigerian worship leader Nathaniel Bassey led the tributes on Instagram, describing Kenoly as a “generational gift” who paved the way for current ministers. Bassey noted that he and many other “psalmists” were raised on Kenoly’s music, acknowledging the late singer’s profound influence on his own career.Kenoly was the voice behind iconic anthems like “Majesty,” “Ancient of Days,” and “Be Glorified,” which became staples in churches worldwide during the 1990s. His legacy as a pioneer who viewed worship as service rather than performance continues to inspire a new generation of gospel artists and believers globally.
