As we told you, John Prine passed away earlier this week from complications due to the coronavirus, and now his wife Fiona has released a statement regarding his passing.
“Our beloved John died yesterday evening at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville TN. We have no words to describe the grief our family is experiencing at this time,” she shares on Instagram. “John contracted Covid-19 and in spite of the incredible skill and care of his medical team at Vanderbilt he could not overcome the damage this virus inflicted on his body.”
Fiona says that she was able to sit with John before his passing, noting she “will be forever grateful for that opportunity,” and then sent a message warning folks to take this virus very seriously.
Finally, she thanked the public for all of their support. “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the outpouring of love we have received from family, friends, and fans all over the world,” she writes. “John will be so missed but he will continue to comfort us with his words and music and the gifts of kindness, humor and love he left for all of us to share.”
- In lieu of flowers, Fiona is asking folks to make donations to either Thistle Farms, Room in the Inn or the Nashville Rescue Mission.
