Country music legend Johnny Rodriguez has died at the age of 73, his family confirmed.
The Texas-born singer, known for a series of chart-topping hits in the 1970s, passed away on Friday after entering hospice care.
Rodriguez’s daughter, Aubry, shared news of his passing in an Instagram post on Friday, May 9.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Rodriguez released numerous albums and continued to chart hits. Despite facing personal challenges, including a legal incident in 1998 for which he was acquitted, he remained active in music. In recognition of his contributions, he was inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007.
He is survived by his daughter, Aubry Rae Rodriguez, whom he shared with his third wife, Debbie McNeely.
