Justin Townes Earle RIP


I'm shocked this evening to hear the news of Justin's passing.  I can't find any details.  So sad.....particularly for his young family.  Ugh.

OMG. It's awful when a father outlives his son. Our condolences, Steve. I sure hope it wasn't a drug overdose; Steve himself is a recovering addict.
Really tragic.  I loved his music, was able to see him play just a single time, he was wonderful.  So young, so sad.  Such a loss.  For music lovers, and his family.  
RIP Justin...thanks for all the great music.  Prayers to his family and loved ones.
I feel pretty out of the loop. I know of his father of course, but I never even heard of him until I read that he had died on my phone yesterday. 
Incredibly sad to hear of his passing. I’ve listened to his music for many years - two of my favorite songs by Justin are “There go a fool” and “Look the other way”. 
He certainly followed in his fathers footsteps in more than one way, he became a talented musician and songwriter, and was addicted to heroin by the age of 16. 
I know what I’ll be listening to this evening.

Rest in peace Justin, my condolences to his family.
