    RIP Bill Withers, ‘Lean On Me,' ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ singer, dies at 81

    Theresa Seiger, Cox Media Group National Content Desk




    Singer-songwriter Bill Withers, the soulful crooner behind hits including “Lean On Me,” “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Lovely Day," has died, The Associated Press reported Friday. He was 81.

    In a statement obtained by the AP, Withers’ family said the three-time Grammy Award winner died Monday in Los Angeles from heart complications.

    “We are devastated by the loss of our beloved, devoted husband and father. A solitary man with a heart driven to connect to the world at large, with his poetry and music, he spoke honestly to people and connected them to each other,” the family statement said.

    “As private a life as he lived close to intimate family and friends, his music forever belongs to the world. In this difficult time, we pray his music offers comfort and entertainment as fans hold tight to loved ones.”

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.

    Fucking Legend. Damn.

    This was my walk up song in my wedding and describes my relationship with my amazing wife.

    I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
