Prine had been hospitalized since March 26 with COVID-19 symptoms and been listed in critical condition for more than a week. Earlier his wife, Fiona, had announced that she also had coronavirus symptoms.
A former mail carrier, Prine was discovered by Kris Kristofferson, who produced the singer’s folk-tinged self-titled debut album for Atlantic Records in 1971. The acclaimed record wasn’t a commercial hit but featured two songs that would become his signatures: “Sam Stone,” about an addicted Vietnam vet, which Johnny Cash famously covered, and “Hello in There,” an iconoclastic ode to lonely empty-nesters that clashed with the era’s Generation Gap ethos.
Prine that year earned the first of his 11 Grammy Award nominations, for Best New Artist, which eventually went to the trio America.
