What the press won't say . . .


In early 1998, Prine was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer on the right side of his neck. He had major surgery to remove a substantial amount of diseased tissue, followed by six weeks of radiation therapy. The surgery removed a piece of his neck and severed a few nerves in his tongue, while the radiation damaged some salivary glands. A year of recuperation and speech therapy was necessary before he could perform again. The operation altered his vocals, and has added a gravelly tone to his voice.

In 2013, Prine learned he had cancer in his left lung and underwent surgery to remove it. After the surgery, a physical therapist put him through an unusual workout to build stamina: Prine was required to run up and down his house stairs, grab his guitar while still out of breath and sing two songs. Six months later, he was touring again. -Wiki

So grateful for the tunes
RIP

Whew!

Yay!

May the Angels from Montgomery carry you to your reward.

RIP, John Prine

One of the the Greats. So sad.

it says complications of corona virus

look at the double speak


it does not say corona virus it did not say he tested positive, he could have died from anything

this is how they will try to keep you lock down forever, with stories like this

Couldn't agree more, pathetic

Damn, I was hoping he'd beat it.

RIP :(

RIP John Prine! Musical legend!

John Prine was a nice guy. He let me (a star struck fan of many years) buy him a few beers at a little club in Nashville one night after he sat down next to me. I really loved his music. RIP Mr. Prine.

So sad to hear this... I really enjoyed seeing him in concert, he was very talented. R.I.P.

More horrible news!

RIP

Say hello in there.

yeah but Rock n roll did die.....

he's been really sick hard to say corona did much but whatever.

73 years old...

I wish I'd seen him, but surprised no one's posted this

His debut album is one of greatest ever by anyone.
RIP Mr. Prine

Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare him down
and won.

The lonesome friends of science say
"The world will end most any day"
Well, if it does, then that's okay
'Cause I don't live here anyway
I live down deep inside my head
Where long ago I made my bed
I get my mail in Tennessee
My wife, my dog, my kids, and me

"Yes, we can confirm on behalf of the Prine family — John died today at Vanderbilt due to complications of Covid-19."

Were you there? I know people who were. They might ask you to talk about what you know first hand. Just sayin’.

Here is his channel. So many great songs. Thank you so much John Prine, will miss you so forever..

he got me through the 2008 crash

If you bothered to check, he was touring a month and half ago in Europe. (where he probably got it) Clearly not someone on his death bed fighting some other medical issue.
