Award-winning country music artist Joey Martin Feek of the husband and wife singing duo Joey + Rory, has died. She was 40 years old. In a blog post on February 29th, Feek’s husband, singer and songwriter Rory Lee Feek, who had been chronicling his wife’s battle with cervical cancer in a transparent and vulnerable online diary, wrote that she has “been asleep for days now, and her body is shutting down quickly.” Today, he posted that she had died: “At 2:30 this afternoon, as we were gathered around her, holding hands and praying. . .my precious bride breathed her last.”

May she rest in peace.
