First time I ever heard John Prine was in the early 70's on Roaches Ranch CJCB radio. Host, Freeman Roach, said someone had just handed him a record by a new artist named John Prine and this is the song he played. Thank you Freeman.

Rest in peace

Why New York coronavirus record’s again? Does Cuomo know how to arrange state ? He should make law of wear mask , social distance early time .

God bless you sir

😢

😢

Remember, TrumpIsTrash has this man's, (and many others) blood on his hands for his mishandling of this crisis.

OH NO🙏

un ricordo un emozione. john quando vedi il buon Dio suina Paradise

Let ’s say that the West is a dog. The governance is so bad. Do you eat shit all day?

They always say coronavirus complications, not covid-19 I wonder why?

RIP

Did he get corona? Did he die ? Was it that bad? Is there anything could had been done to prevent it?

Rest In Peace

is everyone who wrote a song before 1970 croaking ...goodbye to the crooners

He’s been battling cancer for 20 years. I’m sure that had NOTHING to do with his death. More fake news. Rest In Peace, John—-a great musician.

Tragic. Saw him at the Sabin Theater in LA several years back - amazing songwriting (and great stories). RIP John.

Damn. RIP John Prine.

He died. How sad.

Notice how it says ' from complications of Covid-19' and not 'died of Covid-19'. Read the article and you will see that he faced multiple battles with cancer in his life.

Per_Damkier sad sad news so early in the Morning.

Don pretending like he has ever even heard of John Prine before this is why CNN is CNN 🤡

Do You Need Facemasks that will protect you form the outbreak visit

If the country was better prepared... if people listen to the experts who said this was coming... if the country had someone to lead and not whine...

In spite of ourselves.

20 years ago he was a physical wreck after neck cancer & in 2013 he had lung cancer. A normal flu would have killed him! He was a talented guy and will be missed. Unfortunately CNN is going to make him a coronavirus statistic because ... because that's FakeNewsCNN

Picture of health

😭😭😭😭😭😭

💔😭😢😭😢💔

He’s up there smoking a cigarette that’s nine miles long RIP to the legend

I saw him in concert so many times. Heartbroken.

I thought I felt robbed when I heard Johns music for the 1st time last year. I happen to come across him on tinydesk YouTube and asked where has he been all my life. Today I really feel robbed along with the rest of the world. RIP Mr. Prine

☹️☹️☹️

Angel From Montgomery was one of the best songs of all time. The original acoustic version sung by him.

RIP

I'm seriously baffled as to how I've never heard of him. Feels like a reverse Mandela effect or something. RIP

We just lost an American Treasure. Peace to his family. 😩❤️

What a huge loss in the music world

Very sad news. 💔

DanielleWaughTV We’ve lost one of the greatest. Love and thoughts to his family

His death is trumps fault. I never will forgive him

Not good enough! Plaster more faces of Whyte people who DIED from the ChineseVirus. Like you doing to FBA. RacialMedia WhyteMedia FAKEMEDIA Disinformation FAKENEWS

Damn. Just damn 😢 RIP

R.i.p

Trump should abandon his vain self-esteem and conceit and ask for help from the South Korea.

The U.S. and Trump say the number of deaths in New York is increasing and the damage is severe, so quickly ask South Korea, developed countries, for help in responding to the coronavirus.

Have you checked my profile yet? Hey you might be so lucky to win some cash for yourself Dm now!

😔 I'm so sad to hear this. Loved his music...loved his songwriting.

Sitting on a rainbow. In spite of ourselves. One of my favorites.

PattyArquette Noooooooo!!! I’ve prayed so hard he’d be ok. He waited until he made it to his 24th wedding anniversary yesterday. I’m so sorry FionaPrine . My heart is broken for your family. 💔

I ain't hurtin' nobody. I ain't hurtin' no one. ♥️

Oh no. This is terrible news. Thinking tonight about his family and friends. His talent will not be forgotten. Memories are the blessings of life, may they be good and plentiful.

My heart is broken. RIP, JohnPrineMusic . You will be missed!!

“Coronavirus complications” aka something much more lethal and legitimate killed him but we have to skew the death rate.

Sad...he was also battling cancer🙏

Love this man

JohnPrineMusic “Wait awhile eternity. Old Mother Nature ‘s got nothing on me”...I wish eternity would have waited. I will miss your music Mr. Prine. Rest In Peace sir...You were awesome.
