John Prine

The musical couple is protesting the 2020 CMA Awards' lack of tribute to John Prine and others who died this year.

"That's the way that the world goes 'round / You're up one day and the next you're down."

John Prine's widow Fiona has been a vocal opponent of the president's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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

"How I miss you in the morning light / Like roses miss the dew ..."

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

John Prine died Tuesday (April 7), after contracting the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Among other things, he loved Christmas and hot dogs.

He had a storied career.

We are utterly heartbroken. Rest in peace, John ...
