On the other hand, actress and singer McEntire shared a black and white photo of Pride with his guitar, recognizing that Pride “will always be a legend.”
“He will truly be missed but will always be remembered for his great music, wonderful personality, and his big heart. My thoughts are with his wife, Rozene, and their family. RIP, Charley,” McEntire tweeted.
While Lee Greenwood, best known for his patriotic song “God Bless the U.S.A.,” shared several photos of himself with Pride, whom he called his “dear friend.”
“Charley Pride was a dear friend & truly one of the sweetest men in the music business. I was privileged to be his opening act when I first came to town,” Greenwood tweeted. “He treated everyone with respect & kindness. I’m in shock & so sad because I lost a good friend, the music business lost an incredible artist, and the world lost an amazing citizen.”
