“I’m so sad to hear about the death of my friend Joe Bonsall,” he wrote on his Instagram Stories.

“I’ve NEVER seen Joe when he wasn’t smiling and completely full of life.”

Blake went on, “He loved singing more than anyone I’ve ever met.”

“His family and his @theoakridgeboys brothers are in my thoughts and prayers.” Today we lost a very important person.

Blake put out the song “Doing It to Country Songs” with The Oak Ridge Boys in 2016

In 2015, The Oak Ridge Boys were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. They won five Grammy Awards.

Neither of the current band members is a member from the beginning.
“Joe really liked to sing. He liked to read a lot. He liked writing a lot. He really liked playing the banjo.

Formed the band were Curly Kinsey, Lon “Deacon” Freeman, Wally Fowler, and Little Johnny New.

The Oak Ridge Boys are on tour right now with American Made: The Farwell. The show runs until December 8.
