John Prine has passed away at 73; Revisit his 2018 performance at the Virginia Theatre

Yesterday, legendary singer-songwriter John Prine passed away due to complications with COVID-19 at the age of 73. Just two years ago, Prine performed at the Virginia Theatre to a packed house, and you can revisit that show by way of Eric Frahm’s photos from that particular evening. Prine had visited C-U before that in 2012, and Joel Gillespie was there to check it out.

RIP John Prine. Here are a few videos to check out, one from NPR’s Tiny Desk, another from Austin City Limits:
