@crimevaultnews: Outlaw Country Music Legend David Allan Coe Dead at 86 Outlaw country music legend and pioneer songwriter David Allan Coe has died at age 86. Coe died in an intensive care unit at around 5 p.m. on Wednesday, his representative confirmed to Music Universe. "David is a musical treasure," the representative said. "Even in his years of declining health, David appreciated all of the fans." A cause of death has not yet been confirmed. The "Longhaired Redneck" singer's health had been in decline in recent years. In 2021, Coe was hospitalized during a battle with COVID, and he previously underwent knee replacement surgery in 2019. Despite never breaking through on mainstream radio, Coe became a pillar of the outlaw country movement after arriving in Nashville from Ohio in 1967. He released 42 studio albums over a career spanning nearly six decades. Coe leaves behind his wife Kimberly Hastings Coe, son Tyler Mahan Coe and daughter Tanya Coe. This is a developing story.
