The home of the late Johnny Cash destroyed by fire
THE HOME of the late country music giant Johnny Cash in Hendersonville, Tennessee has
been destroyed by fire. The 13,000 square-foot house was purchased by
Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees in 2006, and it was under renovation at the
time of the fire. Initial reports indicate that the house was
completely destroyed. Said Johnny's sister Joanne Cash, whose album
'Gospel' which includes three previously unreleased duets with her
famous brother was recently released, about the fire, "Of course we
are all in a state of shock. I feel that an era has passed. Just today
in prayer I had decided to move on, even discarding old newspaper
clippings not realising that this terrible thing would happen. My
prayers are with the Cash family and especially the Gibb family during
this time."
