On Monday, July 6, Daniels' publicist revealed that the iconic multi-instrumentalist died at the age of 83, at the Summit Medical Center in Nashville, after suffering a hemorrhagic stroke.

Daniels enjoyed a successful career spanning nearly sixty years and is best known for his hit song, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." The song became synonymous with the Charlie Daniels Band and is always featured as a finale in all their performances.

In 2016, Charlie Daniels was named into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Over the years, Daniels formed close friendships with fellow country music stars that gave rise to fantastic collaborations, which will remain evidence of his undeniable ability.

In 2010, the then 73-year-old jumped on the stage to outperform the likes of Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, and John Fogerty in a surprise opening to the ACM Awards.

The much younger singers struggled to keep up with the electrifying showmanship of Daniels who displayed his prowess on a fiddle.

In 2016, Charlie Daniels was named into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and he also won a Grammy award in 1979 for his hit song, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia."
