Country singer Don Williams has died at the age of 78.
The late country star passed away after a “short illness” on Friday.
A press release from the singer’s PR team confirmed his death, saying that funeral arrangements are pending.
In a statement Friday, Kyle Young, CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, Tennessee, said, “Don Williams offered calm, beauty, and a sense of wistful peace that is in short supply these days. “His music will forever be a balm in troublesome times.”
An internationally popular country star, Don was referred to as the “Gentle Giant” of country music and he earned 17 #1 country hits throughout his career.
Some of his hits are ‘I Believe in You,’ ‘Lord, I Hope This Day Is Good’, ‘You’re My Best Friend’, ‘Some Broken Hearts Never Mend’, and ‘Till the Rivers All Run Dry’.
