April 26, 2013. Just another day in Nashville, Tennesse, Music City USA.

And suddenly a breaking news story appeared on television's throughout the city. In an almost literal sense, the world stopped in Nashville, Tennessee.

Country Music's greatest legend, the artist who recorded the greatest country music song in history, had died.

Perhaps it wasn't a total shock that George Jones had died. At 81 years old, the Country Hall of Famer had been in failing health for quite some time. But there's something about a legend, someone who everyone loves.

They don't die.

Except they do.

Watch the local Nashville television news video below, and learn along with Nashville that the great Possum, George Jones, has passed away.
