[EPN NPinow reporter Go Nari] David Allan Coe, 86, has died.
On May 29 (local time), Coe died in an intensive care unit in the United States, and the news was reported on May 30.
Family members and close friends said his health had declined sharply in recent weeks and that he passed after a difficult period. His wife expressed deep sorrow, calling him \”one of the greatest singers and songwriters of our time.\”
The family did not disclose an exact cause of death. His agency said he had long been regarded as a treasure of the music world and added that, even while unwell, Coe consistently showed gratitude to his fans.
In 2013, Coe was involved in a traffic accident in Florida that fractured his ribs and damaged a kidney. In 2021, he was hospitalized for nearly a month after testing positive for COVID-19.
He was known to country music audiences for songs such as \”You Never Even Called Me by My Name,\” \”The Ride,\” and \”Longhaired Redneck.\” For decades he was a leading figure of outlaw country, carving out a distinctive musical voice and commanding a strong stage presence.
Across roughly 60 years in music, he released more than 40 albums and left a lasting mark on the industry.
Born in Akron, Ohio, in 1939, David Allan Coe spent parts of his youth in reform schools and prison. After his release he moved to Nashville and began his professional music career.
He drew attention in 1970 with releases such as \”Penitentiary Blues\” and \”The Mysterious Rhinestone Cowboy,\” and went on to become an iconic figure in country music.
