Singer-songwriter David Olney dies on stage at age 71

Olney stopped in the middle of a song and paused, said"I'm sorry," and"put his chin to his chest," said fellow singer-songwriter Scott Miller, who was performing with Olney at the 30A Songwriters Festival in Santa Rosa Beach."He never dropped his guitar or fell his stool," Miller wrote on Facebook."It was as easy and gentle as he was."Amy Rigby, who also was on stage with Olney, also wrote a powerful Facebook post.

I just want the picture to be as graceful and dignified as it was, because it at first looked like he was just taking a moment," Rigby said, adding,"We all lost someone important last night."Read MoreAn"Americana Pioneer," Olney produced more than 20 solo albums, according to his website. His second album included the song"Deeper Well," which Emmylou Harris covered in her 1995 album Wrecking Ball.

Who knowes if he died. The fake news says so but who knows.

Rest in peace sir!

A gentle giant in his field and in his heart. RIP David. When I go, I wanna go like David. At peace, doing what I love.

What a way to go, doing what he loved best! RIP David...

✌️

Sad.

Rest In Peace

look out

No way I can “like” this! Rest In Peace, David Olney.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Thanks, David, for the lyrics. They will live on.

At least he went out doing what he loved. RIP

Went out doing something he loved rest in peace David Olney 🙏

Damn.

Why are people saying this is the way to go? What audience member wants to watch the musician keel over on stage? 'Hey, I'm going to see Peter Gabriel next week. I hope he comes out for a second encore or has a fatal heart attack.'

He was in the middle of his third song.

A singer - songwriter apologized ,closed his eyes , dropped his head and died.

What a graceful way to leave this earth. RIP.

Sad, I hope that he loved performing.

Died doing what he loved. poetic rip

😭😭🙏🙏

😥😥😥

Sad. But a beautiful way to go. It’s a blessing. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. So condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Beautiful way to go. RIP

'...his website says.' Couldn't spare a single reporter to go talk to someone?

RIP

Damn, my age. Folks, this is it! Live life to its top. Next month I'm sail to the Bahamas on a 36' Junk Rigged Schooner for about 6 wks. Fly high David. Life is so precious. We don't get a 'double life' Loudens Wainwright III. Boomer by birth. Explorer by choice. Peace Brother

God Bless him and thank him for his many songs. He went how any great music man should go, on stage. RIP Music Man

Sad.

Jesus ... equally heavy & legendary! RIP

😣

God bless him

Best way to go ... Doing what you love.

Gotta say, that is one magnificent beard.

RI and thanks for the happiness he brought to the world.

It may seem tragic to all of us, but for most artists, they would rather die doing what they were born to do. Rest in peace.

😢

If you're a musician, what better way to die?

Thank you for your mountain of work. R.I.P.

Sad news

🙏🏻

😭😔💔

What a magnificent beard

Was it his beard?

🙏🏽

Tomorrow will never begin Forever will come to an end The sun will fall from the sky The moment I tell you goodbye

The ceiling will fall to the floor The windows will walk out the door The old clock will run out of time And reason will run out of rhyme The sea will no longer be blue The truth will no lo longer be true And ev’rything left is a lie The moment I tell you goodbye

🙏🏻rest in peace

Clean-azz beard

cfbronco He was doing what he loved to do. We should all be so lucky. Rest In Peace 🎶

Died doing what he loved most.

BallerExit dude.
