Daryle Singletary has died. The country singer was 46 when he passed away on Monday morning (Feb. 12).
News of Singletary’s death began spreading via social media on Monday; a friend of Singletary’s confirmed the news to The Boot, and a source also confirmed it to SiriusXM’s The Highway, the satellite radio station says in a tweet.
A cause of death and further details have yet to be officially released, though reports are that Singletary died due to a blood clot. The Boot will update this story with more information as it is made available.
Born March 10, 1971, in Cairo, Ga., Singletary moved to Nashville in the early 1990s to pursue a career in country music. He started out performing at open mic nights and working as a demo singer. After Randy Travis recorded one of the songs that Singletary demoed, “An Old Pair of Shoes,” Travis recommended the aspiring artist to his management team, and they helped Singletary sign with Giant Records.
Singletary released his debut album, a self-titled project, in 1995; two of its singles — “I Let Her Lie” and “Too Much Fun” — reached the Top 5 on the country charts. Throughout his career, Singletary released six additional studio albums, the most recent of which, There’s Still a Little Country Left, came out in 2015. He charted more than a dozen singles, including a third Top 5 hit, “Amen Kind of Love.”
