More info on George Jones according to WAFB:

He died at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, where he had been hospitalized since April 18 with fever and irregular blood pressure. His illness forced him to postpone two shows.

Jones was a revelation in the country music culture – equal parts vocal phenom and bad boy – whose drinking and impulsiveness made him just as legendary as his performances.

Jones enjoyed his first No. 1 hit, White Lightning, in 1959 and had racked up 150 more chart-topping songs since then. He did it in duets and as a solo artist.
