While on her way to perform at the Grand Ole Opry, the "Country Sunshine" singer found herself stuck on the side of the road after her Cadillac stalled. An 81-year-old neighbor spotted Dottie West and offered her a ride. Fearful she was running late, she urged the driver to speed, and he lost control of the vehicle while exiting at the Opryland ramp at 55 MPH.

Tammy Wynette, 55: Cardiac arrhythmia

The First Lady of Country Music died on April 6, 1998. In 1999, Tammy Wynette’s body was exhumed in an attempt to settle a dispute. After no autopsy was conducted and the cause of death was listed as a blood clot, her daughters grew suspicious and filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her doctor and husband/manager, George Richey, claiming they were responsible for her death at the age of 55. The coroner declared that she died of a cardiac arrhythmia. In May 1999, George Richey was dropped from the wrongful death lawsuit.

John Denver, 53: Plane crash

John Denver was a wildly successful folk artist whose forays into country music earned him the genre’s most prestigious awards. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and “Rocky Mountain High” are two songs that still live on in the 21st century. “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” (1975) is one of his three No. 1 hits on the country airplay charts. The New Mexico native (real name Henry John Deutschendorf Jr.) died at age 53 on October 12, 1997 when his plane crashed in California. He was the only person on board.

Townes Van Zandt, 52: Heart attackMichael Ochs Archives, Getty Images

Townes Van Zandt, 52: Heart attack

Townes Van Zandt was a songwriting icon in the 1970s and ‘80s, with his biggest cut probably being “Pancho and Lefty,” as recorded by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard. He’s a tremendously influential songwriter, with Steve Earle calling him a mentor and going as far as to name his son after him. His death on January 1, 1997 was officially cardiac arrhythmia, but a lifetime of drug and alcohol use led him there. 

Troy Gentry, 50: Helicopter crashTerry Wyatt, Getty Images

Troy Gentry, 50: Helicopter crash

A helicopter crash killed Montgomery Gentry's Troy Gentry on Sept. 8, 2017. The singer and one other person on board a helicopter were killed when it crashed in Medford, N.J., where Montgomery Gentry were set to perform that night.

Cowboy Copas, 49: Plane crash

Cowboy Copas was a Grand Ole Opry member and big star in the 1940s, with songs like “Filipino Baby” reaching the upper portions of country charts. His career cooled into the 1950s, but he was still a steady presence until his death on March 5, 1963. Lloyd Estel Copas was on board the plane that also killed Patsy Cline when it crashed in Camden, Tenn. All three famous country singers on board died much too young.


Lefty Frizzell, 47: StrokeGAB Archive/Redferns Via Getty Images

Lefty Frizzell, 47: Stroke

Lefty Frizzell is a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee who died too young. He’s considered one of the all-time great country vocalists and a pioneer in country. Among his No. 1 hits were “I Want to Be With You Always, “Give Me More, More, More (Of Your Kisses)” and (his last, in 1964) “Saginaw, Michigan.” “Long Black Veil” is probably the song that music fans know best today. The often-covered ballad tells a dark love story, and while Frizzell didn’t write it, he was the first to popularize it (in 1959). Lefty Frizzell died on July 19, 1975 after suffering a stroke. A lifetime of alcohol addiction problems led to his poor health.

Daryle Singletary, 46: Blood clot

Singletary died at his Nashville area home on Feb. 12, 2018. His unexpected passing came as he was working on new music. The Georgia-raised singer was best known for '90s hits like "Too Much Fun" and "Amen Kind of Love." Sources would later tell Taste of Country and the Boot he had a blood clot that led to his death.

Ricky Nelson, 45: Plane crashHulton Archive, Getty Images

Ricky Nelson, 45: Plane crash

While primarily a rock and pop singer, Ricky Nelson’s rockabilly style did earn him him some country music success in 1958 when songs like “Stood Up,” “My Bucket’s Got a Hole in It” and “Poor Little Fool” cracked the Top 10. On December 31, 1985, Nelson was one of seven passengers on a plane that crashed while trying to make an emergency landing.

Kevin Sharp, 43: Complications due to cancer

"Nobody Knows” and “If You Love Somebody” hitmaker Kevin Sharp battled cancer before he became successful as a country singer. In fact, he used his story of overcoming long odds to become a motivational speaker after his commercial country success faded. Sharp’s death at age 43 came from complications from past stomach surgeries and digestive issues. His mother would describe the cause as "complications due to cancer."

Elvis Presley, 42: Heart attackHulton Archives, Getty Images

Elvis Presley, 42: Heart attack

Elvis Presley’s too-short life and unexpected death have been well-chronicled, and his success on country charts requires his inclusion on this list of stars who died young. Presley died on August 16, 1977 of a heart attack, which doctors would say was likely brought on by a prescription drug addiction. 


Hawkshaw Hawkins, 41: Plane crashGAB Archive/Redferns, Via Getty Images

The crooner of "He’ll Have to Go" was piloting his own plane when he crashed at the age of 40 on July 31, 1964.

Justin Townes Earle, 38: Accidental drug overdose

Celebrated Americana singer and songwriter Justin Townes Earle died young in late August of 2020, shocking friends, family and the country music industry. The 38-year-old Earle was the son of Steve Earle, but musically, he did all he could to separate himself from his father. The younger Earle was a recording artist since 2007 and a tireless road act; he left behind a wife and 3-year-old daughter.

Mindy McCready, 37: SuicideBrad Barket, Getty Images

Mindy McCready, 37: Suicide

"Ten Thousand Angels" hitmaker Mindy McCready was a star in the spotlight, but her life wasn't without tragic shadows. An abusive relationship, custody battle, drugs and alcohol plagued the singer, and after attempting suicide multiple times, McCready took her own life with a firearm in February 2013. She was 37 years old.

Keith Whitley, 33: AlcoholEbet Roberts/Redferns

Keith Whitley, 33: Alcohol

Keith Whitley’s star was on the rise when he “drank himself to death” on May 9, 1989. At the time, Whitley was enjoying his third No. 1 single with "I'm No Stranger to the Rain," ironically a song about overcoming depression and alcoholism. "Miami, My Amy" became his first Top 20 hit, leading the way for "When You Say Nothing at All" and "Don't Close Your Eyes." Whitley was just three years into a marriage with Lorrie Morgan when he died young, at just 33 years old.


Patsy Cline, 30: Plane crashMichael Ochs Archives/Getty Images

Patsy Cline, 30: Plane crash

Patsy Cline only had nine songs on the Billboard country charts before her tragic death in a plane crash on March 5, 1963 at age 30. Like Jim Reeves, Cline’s music lived on with several chart entries after her death, including "Sweet Dreams" and "Always." However, she was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1973. It is reported that Cline actually had premonitions of her death and revealed them to close friends Loretta Lynn, Dottie West and June Carter in 1962.

Hank Williams, 29: Drugs and alcoholGetty Images

Hank Williams, 29: Drugs and alcohol

Although he died much too young at the age of 29, Hank Williams Sr. did live to see himself become a major country music star when 33 of his songs hit the charts while he was still alive. However, it seemed like no one at the time would realize the impact his songwriting would have on American music in the years to follow. He was born with a spinal deformity, spina bifida occulta, that would lead to his addiction to painkillers. The lethal combination of alcohol and prescribed drugs ended his life on January 1, 1953.

Gram Parsons, 26: Drugs and alcoholGinny Winn, Getty Images

Gram Parsons, 26: Drugs and alcohol

It would take several hundred words to explain why Gram Parsons is such an influential country and rock artist. He was part of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers before going solo. His partnership with Emmylou Harris is what ties him to country music. He died on Sept. 19, 1973, after consuming a lethal amount of drugs and alcohol.
