Ik ben ook altijd de laatste om dingen te horen… 

June Carter Cash, the Grammy-winning scion of one of country music’s pioneering families and the wife of country giant Johnny Cash, died of complications from heart surgery. She was 73.

She died at a hospital with her husband of 35 years and family members at her bedside, manager Lou Robin said. She had been critically ill after May 7 surgery to replace a heart valve.

She was co-writer of her husband’s 1963 hit ?Ring of Fire,? which was about falling in love with Cash.

Longtime friend Kris Kristofferson, who wrote the Cash hit ?Sunday Morning Coming Down,? said Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash have ?been partners in life for as long as I’ve known them… always in love, and always there for each other.

?I know how much she means to him. It’s the hardest thing he’ll ever have to face.?

Wie had ooit gedacht dat June Carter voor Johnny Cash zou komen te overlijden? Eiks.
