    RIP...This brings sadness to my heart. I am not a big concert goer, but I saw these 4 more than any other performers. I saw them in Chicago for the first time in 1979 at Chicagofest. After that, I saw them 4-5 times at the Holiday Star Theatre in Merrillville, Indiana on New Years Eve. They used to come down to the Jolly Gingers Lounge and mingle with fans. God Bless all of them.

    I’ve been friends with Joe all my life. Even sang with them on occasions in Branson. This is so sad. I have no words.

      I'm so sorry for your loss. Joe was truly a legend and an icon. I have loved the Oak Ridge Boys for over 40 years. May Joe Rest In Peace!❤
