Unhappy Chris LeDoux loses battle with cancer.
Not sure if any of you know EXACTLY who Chris LeDoux is, besides that Garth Brooks drops his name in a song (Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old, the live version of which I'm listening to right now), but anyways...



Chris LeDoux Dead After Battle With Cancer

03/09/2005 9:00 PM, LAUNCH
LAUNCH Radio Networks

Chris LeDoux died Wednesday (March 9) at the age of 56 due to complications from ongoing treatment for cancer of the bile duct. The singer, songwriter, and rodeo champion was surrounded by family and friends at the time of his death at Casper Medical Center in Casper, Wyoming.



LeDoux had checked into the hospital earlier this week. He was diagnosed with cancer last year, and was undergoing radiation treatments. In 2000, LeDoux successfully underwent a liver transplant after being diagnosed with liver disease. LeDoux had recorded 22 albums on his own when Garth Brooks mentioned his name in the hit song, "Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old)" in 1989. Shortly thereafter, LeDoux signed with Brooks' label, Capitol Nashville, where he recorded 15 albums and sold nearly six million copies.



The simple phrase "a worn out tape of Chris LeDoux" in that famous song of Brooks' gave the singing cowboy the boost he'd been needing, career-wise, as far as LeDoux was concerned: "As far as Garth helping my career, he did tremendously. It's funny...the first time I met him, he told me the opposite. He says, 'Chris,' (laughs) 'You don't realize what using your name in that song has done for my career,' but I know it helped me way more than it did him. You see, we'd been doing this for probably 18 years when that song finally came out."



Capitol Nashville President and CEO Mike Dungan said, "All of us at Capitol Records and EMI Music are saddened at the passing of Chris. In a world of egos and soundalikes, he was a unique artist and a wonderful man. We have always been proud to represent his music, and honored to call him our friend. Our thoughts go out to his wife, Peggy, and the LeDoux family."



Darryl Worley was on his way to a party in celebration of his latest Number One hit, "Awful Beautiful Life," when news of LeDoux's death reached him. The singer reacted to LeDoux's untimely passing: “I'm certainly saddened by the fact that he's gone, and I know he's been having some health problems. I spent a little time with Chris a couple different times. He was just really full of energy and enthusiastic and a positive guy, and he's one of the few people I know that can go out and sell four or five million records without a record label, so I think his success and what he did with country music speaks for itself. He doesn't really need anybody to praise him, but we're gonna miss him."

While Rascal Flatts member Joe Don Rooney didn't have a lot of personal experience with LeDoux, he says his absence as the real deal in country music will be felt: "He was a cowboy. He rode in the rodeos. He was raised rough and tough, and plus he was a great musician and singer and a heck of an entertainer, so he had the whole true package for country music. He'll never be forgotten."

____________

I know none of you like country, but it's not like I care.

R.I.P. Chris

In the immortal words of Garth Brooks, "GOD BLESS CHRIS LEDOUX!"

"My belly's just a little big, my heinie's just a little big, but bruddah, I'm bad and they know I'm bad." - Dusty Rhodes

To relate this to wrestling. Curt Hennig is resposible for giving Shawn Michales the "Heartbreak Kid" name and that came from a Chris LeDoux song.

Be probably sucked, but that's no reason not to feel bad that he died. Cancer's not a nice way to go.

Yeah, I never really liked his music or anything but always thought he seemed like a cool guy regardless.

I never knew that. If he is responsible for "HBK", I like him in a whole new way now.

I am also a Huge Chris Ledoux fan, I got a whole bunch of his cd's and everything including his new one. Kept waiting for his tour to come by Va, but he didn't come closer than MO.

But this sucks, I feel so bad for his family. He was one of my favorite singers of all time right behind Garth Brooks himself.

We should look on the bright side though. He is in a much better place now, and hopefully we will join him one day.

"GOD BLESS CHRIS LEDOUX"
