Country star HAL KETCHUM died last night (11/23), according to a FACEBOOK post from his wife, ANDREA. He was 67.

"With great sadness and grief we announce that HAL passed away peacefully last night at home due to complications of dementia," she wrote. "May his music live on forever in your hearts and bring you peace." ANDREA revealed her husband's Alzheimer's/dementia diagnosis last year after fans noticed the lack of tour dates (NET NEWS 4/15/19).
