One of the world's greatest and most timeless country legends has passed away. George Jones, best known for his song "He Stopped Loving Her Today," passed away Friday at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn at the age of 81. He had been hospitalized for a fever and high blood pressure, Fox News reports.
This truly is a sad day for the country world. Over the past 20 years, the country community has credited Jones as the greatest living country singer of all time — and many singers even mention him in their own music. Jones will always be remembered for his hard living ways, stormy relationships, distinctive voice, and for his endless list of hits, which includes "White Lightning," "Tender Years," and "We're Gonna Hold On," which he recorded with his then wife Tammy Wynette.
After hearing the devastating news, the country community took to Twitter to remember the late legend.
