John Prine

For five decades, John filled our hearts with rich, plain spoken songs about the struggles of ordinary people. Not just a musician, John was also an author, actor, and business person. However, this Grammy winner was best known for his songs, songs that were covered by so many other musicians, because they were songs that were written for “the moments people don’t talk about”.

“John was never anything but the loveliest guy in the world”

Bruce Springsteen

I’m crushed by the loss of my dear friend, John. My heart and love go out to Fiona and all the family. For all of us whose hearts are breaking, we will keep singing his songs and holding him near.”

Bonnie Rait
