What The Final 12 Months Of Johnny Cash's Life Were Like

Johnny Cash was one of the most important country artists of the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s, but his music feels truly timeless. The Man in Black was an influence on all kinds of music, and he continued to record acclaimed music up until his death in 2003, with even more being released after he passed away.

Cash had struggled with his health for more than a decade, but things got considerably worse in the last year of his life, and his condition only worsened when his wife, June Carter Cash, passed away. Let’s take a look at what the final 12 months of Johnny Cash’s life were like.

I have so much respect for this man. I was introduced to his music by watching the Walk The Line movie and after that I became hooked. He was a wonderful man and I'm glad he didn't have to live too long without June after she passed.
I cry every time I hear his version of Hurt

RIP Mr. Cash. You may be gone, yet you will never be forgotten.

God bless this crazy mixed up GENIUS man. Heard his music as a young child in my parents house, loved it all my life.

Going to school in Arkansas, I was amazed at how many kids were just itching to tell you how they were somehow distantly related to Johnny Cash. XD

Poor Johnny his health struggles all the years of drugs and alcohol shortened life and losing June made the situation unbearable!
