RIP: Mel Tillis (Country Music Legend)

[erik]

Another one has left the scene. Legendary country artist Mel Tillis passed away early today from respiratory failure owing to intestinal issues he had been suffering from for about two years. He was 85 years old, so he lived a very long and extremely successful life:

We didn't have to wait very long for that other shoe to drop, and there's still 42 days left until the end of 2017. I hate to think of how many shoes could drop in that time. I'm hoping none as 2017 has already been one of the saddest years when it comes to those who have left us.
