I read a few weeks ago that he had been arrested at an hospital emergency room with some kind of mental issue.

This sickens me. My absolute favorite, I play so many of his songs. Damn hate this, will horrible news ever stop?
Rest in peace my friend. You and Jerry Jeff sing to all the great ones that have left us heartbroken here.
Just damn it all.
Thank God I saw him 4 times, loved every second of his shows.
I was just listening to him playing “little bird” featuring Elizabeth Cook before I looked a DU.
😭😭😢😥😓😰😰😭. Where has all the good gone?
Check out his album he did in Johnny Cash’s home cabin. Cash Cabin Sessions?
