After the passing of 88-year-old Kris Kristofferson, on the 28th of September, legendary names paid tribute.
Kristofferson’s co-star from “A Star Is Born,” Barbra Streisand shared her grieving from her social media account as, “The first time I saw Kris performing at the Troubadour club in LA, I knew he was something special. Barefoot and strumming his guitar, he seemed like the perfect choice for a script I was developing, which eventually became A Star Is Born.”
When Reba McEntire talked about Kristofferson, she described him as a “gentleman, kind soul, and a lover of words.”
Dolly Parton also paid tribute to her “great friend,” as she stated, “What a great loss, what a great writer, what a great actor, what a great friend.”
Lee Greenwod shared his thoughts as, “Hard to believe my friend Kris Kristofferson has left us. He was successful in all areas of his life. A champion boxer, a world-class actor, a spectacular songwriter and singer, and a hero to everyone fortunate enough to know him.”
As Kristofferson’s family released as statement after his passing, the family wrote:
“It is with a heavy heart that we share the news our husband/father/grandfather, Kris Kristofferson, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 28 at home.”
“We’re all so blessed for our time with him. Thank you for loving him all these many years, and when you see a rainbow, know he’s smiling down at us all.”
