John Prine died earlier this week from COVID-19 at the age of 73. The country-folk singer and songwriter passed away at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, where he had been hospitalized and intubated since he started experiencing coronavirus symptoms.

The Grammy-winning singer had a musical career that spanned for about 50 years, and he came out victorious from his two battles with cancer during his lifetime. Prine did not have hit albums and singles, but many musicians, like Johnny Cash, have quoted him to be a source of songwriting inspiration.

Lambert, who had earlier covered a song written and sung by Prine titled "That's the Way That the World Goes' Round," honored him in her tweet.

McEntire was also joined by other celebrities who jumped on social media to pay tribute to the late country songwriter and his legacy.

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen remembered Prine in his tweet, he called him a "national treasure and a songwriter for ages." He went on to tender his condolences and send his prayers to the Prine family.

Singer Toby Keith also took to Twitter to honor the late songwriter. Keith recalled the expert advice that John had given him, saying John showed him how to "let it rip" when it came to songwriting.

Keith expressed his sadness at the death of the ace songwriter and went on to say that Prine "did it best" in this life.

Other country musicians who paid tribute to Jon include Sheryl Crow and Miranda Lambert. Lambert, who had earlier covered a song written and sung by Prine titled "That's the Way That the World Goes' Round," honored him in her tweet. She simply thanked him for everything he accomplished.
