Country superstar Merle Haggard has passed away at the age of 79; it was his birthday, sadly. Though he penned many hits, he was forced to file for bankruptcy in 1993 and thought of retiring but chose to stick around, which the world is so grateful for. He leaves behind his wife, Theresa Ann and six children, two from Theresa and four from his previous marriage. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family as they deal with this devastating loss. The country world has already come out to mourn as Luke Bryan tweeted this:
"A true hero was lost today. Thank you for your contribution to not only country music but all music. @merlehaggard."
