Grammy-winning country music star Joe Diffie has died two days after revealing he had contracted coronavirus.
The 61-year-old had a string of hits in the US in the 1990s and had three albums that went platinum.
On Friday, he announced he had tested positive for COVID-19 - the first country music star to go public with such a diagnosis.
Diffie's publicist Scott Adkins said the singer, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, died on Sunday due to complications from the virus.
The US has the most coronavirus cases in the world, with more than 136,000 suspected and confirmed infections, according to Johns Hopkins University, which is tracking the outbreak.
More than 2,400 people who have contracted COVID-19 have died in the US.
Diffe's hits included Honky Tonk Attitude, Prop Me Up Beside The Jukebox (If I Die), Bigger Than The Beatles and If The Devil Danced (In Empty Pockets).
