By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

Sad news has just arrived to the NewzBreaker office that popular country singer Lynn Anderson who in the 1970’s had a massive hit with “Rose Garden” has died from cardiac arrest at the age of 67. Her death was confirmed by Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Her publicist, Mark Logsdon, said that the cause was cardiac arrest. The newspaper The Tennessean reported that she had been hospitalized for pneumonia.

“Rose Garden”, written by Joe South, became a crossover hit, soaring to the top of both the country and pop charts and earning Ms. Anderson a Grammy in 1971. As we get older, death is always a part of it of course, but sad nonetheless because these are people we grew up and enjoyed their God given talents.

On behalf of NewzBreaker, we extend our deepest condolences to the Anderson family in their time of grief…
