Kris Kristofferson has passed away.

Not only a musical legend in his own right but he discovered and introduced the late great John Prine to the world.

I was fortunate enough to attend a Kris Kristofferson concert in the Waterfront Hall in Belfast back in the day for which I remain eternally grateful.

Rest easy Kris.
