John Prine

Clearly, John Prine passed on his musical talents ...

John Prine has been named an honorary poet laureate in his home state of Illinois. He's the first person to earn the title.

How bittersweet ...

'Picture Show: A Tribute Celebrating John Prine' will feature the folk icon's family and friends.

He paid his respects to the iconic singer-songwriter.

"We have no words to describe the grief our family is experiencing at this time ..."

Among other things, he loved Christmas and hot dogs.

They were mutual fans of each other.

Including well-known songs by George Strait, Miranda Lambert and more.

Farewell to a true legend.
