Eddie Rabbitt

For the week starting Feb. 10, 1979, Rabbitt hit No. 1 on the charts with "Every Which Way But Loose."

Eddie Rabbitt wasn't only one of the biggest star's in country music history, he was one of the greatest writers as well. Whatever happened to him?

It's more tragic when it's unexpected, as is the case with these country singers who died before their time.

Tragedy can strike anyone, from a neighbor next door to family members to some of the biggest superstars in the world.
