Sonnier performed in Llano, Texas last night and shortly after his performance had a major heart attack. He performed his last song “Tear Stained Letter” and received a standing ovation. Shortly after is when he had the heart attack.

Passed away after just finishing an encore.... I would think a lot of musicians would want to be on stage all the way to the end.

I got to spend a day with him and his wife Bobbye at Dockside back in 2015, Jo-El's kindness and down-to-earth nature truly eclipsed his talent and accolades. Sorry to hear of his passing. Prayers to Bobbye and the fam.
