That's a fellow who, if I was forced to guess, had already left us. Younger than I thought.

He was still very busy. He had 7 shows scheduled in the next two weeks.
He should have taken it a bit easier.
Rest in peace, Okie.

Just his way of avoiding coming to my town for the concert scheduled in May. There will be a lot of disappointed fans

When Elvis died, he had a concert scheduled two months later for Atlanta's Omni. Even though they offered everyone refunds, approximately half the people kept their tickets as souvenirs.

Sadly, that usually doesn't work so well anymore, since most tickets are electronic/PDF versions. Who had a "real" ticket anymore?

Sorry to hear that. It's amazing that he was still touring.
I couldn't stand Okie from Muskogee, but Mama Tried and Sing Me Back Home are great songs.
