Joe Bonsall, 76, the longtime tenor vocalist of Country Music Hall of Fame group Oak Ridge Boys, has died from complications of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

In this very special conversation, Joe gives us a glimpse of the future, almost as if it was a "Message from Heaven." 

Six months ago, citing the half-decade onset of the previously-mentioned disorder, Bonsall retired from performing on the road with the group after 50 years.Notably, alongside his Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry membership, Bonsall was an inductee of the Philadelphia Music Hall of Fame and Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

"It has been a great 50 years and I am thankful to all the Oak Ridge Boys, band, crew and staff for the constant love and support shown to me through it all. I will never forget, and for those of you who have been constantly holding me up in prayer," stated Bonsall.

Rest in peace...our friend.
