Country Singers Who Died Far Too Young [PICTURES]

Country music often deals with the darker side of existence, but when death comes unexpectedly — especially for a well-known and well-loved personality — an artist’s music often takes on even greater poignancy.

No generation of country musician or country fan seems immune from the sad circumstances that tear us away from the stars we admire.
