When was John Anderson inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame?
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — John Anderson passed away in his sleep on Oct. 21 at age 71.
Anderson’s family said he was much more than a country star to them.
It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and best friend. To the world, he was a gifted country music singer whose voice and songs touched countless lives. To us, he was so much more. He was the heart of our family, the one who made us laugh, loved us fiercely and made every ordinary moment feel special. We are completely heartbroken. His music will live on, but for us, his greatest legacy will always be the love he gave his family and the memories we will carry with us forever. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this unimaginable loss,” said the Anderson family.
Anderson grew up in Apopka, Florida, and started out playing rock music before switching to country after hearing Merle Haggard and George Jones…
