John Cash was a charismatic American country singer-songwriter who lived from February 26, 1932, to September 12, 2003.

He was recognized for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice and his backup band’s particular sound. The term The Man in Black came from his signature all-black theatrical attire.

What caused Johnny Cash’s death?

Cash lived with diabetes for quite a while before he passed away. He contracted pneumonia and because he was diabetic he could not be treated resulting in his unfortunate demise at 71 years old.

Before he passed away he seemed to have lost every will to fight his condition because his life-long partner and wife who always helped him get through his condition had passed away a few months back.

The inspiring country musician has chalked his name in the annals of history as one of the most successful musicians of all time, having sold over 90 million records worldwide.

His music spanned genres, including country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel. He has been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

The 2005 film Walk the Line, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Cash, portrayed his career.
