“Angel from Montgomery” singer has been hospitalized since Thursday and his condition worsened on Saturday.
Prine’s family added;
“This is hard news for us to share,” “But so many of you have loved and supported John over the years, we wanted to let you know, and give you the chance to send on more of that love and support now. And know that we love you, and that John loves you.”
