Porter WagonerHe had been admitted to an undisclosed Nashville-area hospital on Monday, Oct. 15 and it was announced he had lung cancer. Mr. Wagoner was released to hospice care on Friday, a Grand Ole Opry spokeswoman announced.
Wagoner’s contributions to country music are numerous. Marty Stuart, who produced this year’s much-heralded comeback album Wagonmaster, calls him “an American master and a cornerstone of our music.”
He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and a three-time Grammy winner whose hits included “A Satisfied Mind,” “Misery Loves Company” and “Green, Green Grass of Home.”
