John Prine has COVID-19, is intubated

[georgeglass]

Y'all are probably all too young to know his music, but he's a hell of a songwriter. I'm so sad.

Aw, we played his song In Spite of Ourselves at our wedding reception. (It raised some eyebrows). I hope he fully recovers.

I totally know who he is and this makes me sad. I hope he recovers.

[chickadee77]

Oh, man. Happy enchilada. I hope he recovers, but I know he has underlying issues.

My cousin used it as her first dance. They cut out a verse.

He’s the sound track to our remote camping trips. I’m so sorry to hear this. My husband is an audio engineer and spent some time working in Nashville. He was supposed to have a concert in our area in June and Dh commented last week he would love to see him before he quits touring or passes. I hope he recovers.

H and I saw him two years ago. We are both sad over the news. He has had a rough go the last several years with health. I wish him and his wife (also diagnosed) the best recovery possible.

H and I just played it.

When he was playing at the Ryman he had multiple people come out. Todd Snider came out and played a few songs. Then later in the set John called him back out. Todd did the female role.

Damn that was a great night. Shovel and Ropes opened for him.

Super sad news. I saw him a few years ago and I’m so glad I had that opportunity. It was an amazing show. He’s a legend.

I’m so sad for his family right now.

We saw him a few years ago and it was honestly magical. His last song, at the end, he put his guitar down and danced around it and danced right off stage. It was pure joy. I cried a little reading Brandi Carlisle’s post to him on Instagram.

[keyslover]

I saw that and am so sad.
I started to play his tunes.

I think that was the final straw for me today.

My parents are so upset over this. He’s one of their favorite artists and they’ve seen him multiple times. I hope he and his wife recover.

[UMaineTeach]

I saw some prayers for him on Instagram, but it didn’t say if he had that or was just sick like he had been.

I don’t know many of his songs, but I do have his latest album.

My sister did, too

Hope he recovers

This one did me in yesterday.

His wife says she has recovered and he is stable, according to this tweet:

I'm so sad.

[TR]

FUCK

[gt7301b]

So sad, my parents are musicians and I grew up listening to them play his music

[mysteriouswife]

We heard about a hour ago. 💔

[phunluvin82]

Such a loss. Between this and Ellis Marsalis, man, my heart hurts.

[notreal]

I hope he is somewhere smoking a cigarette 9 miles long.
