Diffie Is Survived By Five Children And His Wife Tara
Music Row Magazine and multiple other music industry publications confirmed the news Sunday afternoon (3/29)
Diffie announced on Friday that he was diagnosed with the COVID19 coronavirus:
“I am under the care of medical professionals and currently receiving treatment,” he said in a statement at that time. “My family and I are asking for privacy at this time. We want to remind the public and all my fans to be vigilant, cautious and careful during this pandemic.”
Born Dec. 28, 1958, Diffie moved to Nashville as a demo session singer in the 1980s, and signed a deal with the Nashville division of Epic Records in 1990 and released his debut album later that that year. He charted more than 30 singles, including “Ships That Don’t Come In,” “Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox (If I Die),” “If The Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets),” “Honky Tonk Attitude,” “Third Rock From The Sun,” “Bigger Than The Beatles,” “John Deere Green” and “Pickup Man.”
He was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1993. Last year, Diffie began voicetracking middays for Griffin Classic Country KXBL/Tulsa.
