Country music singer Joe Diffie passed away Sunday from the corona virus. He was 61. He had a bunch of hits in the 90's like: John Deere Green, Prop Me Up Beside the Juke Box (If I Die), Third Rock From the Sun, Pickup Man, If the Devil Danced in Empty Pockets.
I loved his album Average Joe. The song Starting Over Blues was great. It is great loss to the music industry, and mostly, his family. My prayers go out for his family and friends.
Not sure about any health conditions he may have had but he sent out a tweet Saturday saying he was going to be heading to the hospital for treatment. He died the next day.
he was still touring..a few weeks ago i saw a billboard in either Kansas or Nebraska, maybe Iowa where he was playing at a casino..I wanted to go..but... he wrote a lot of songs for other people...huge loss
i heard the sad news in bruce wilson's youtube show bruce is mentioning it at the end of the first minute:
