Kris was one of those who spoke volumes with fewer words.
They got Whistler!
So I first heard of Kris through the Blade movies but my mum used to remind me he was a highly respected outlaw county artist, which he most certainly was.
He was also in a respectable amount of films, and a pretty decent actor!
Rest in Peace Kris, you were a legend.
Joining that great Convoy beyond.

I liked some of his music, and he seemed like a genuine nice guy
Heaven’s Gate is pretty awesome if you haven’t seen it.
What a legend, and for so many reasons. I said Nooooooooo out loud when I heard. Sat on the back porch yesterday and Sunday Morning Coming Down came on the radio. That song is a bleak, beautiful masterpiece. And one of the many such songs he wrote. Loved Kris and he will be missed, but what a body of work he left us. A man of towering integrity.
I did the same thing when I heard, noooo just came out , he will be missed for sure
Big fan. Songs of Kristofferson was always playing in the house when I was growing up. Saw him play in Glasgow in 94 and interviewed him for our art school radio station. Awesome. Presented him with a box of tunnocks teacakes…hope that wasn’t what done him in….
