John Prine died on Tuesday (April 7) from complications of coronavirus (COVID-19) at age 73. The news came a week after Prine's wife, Fiona Prine, announced that he has been hospitalized since March 26 after the "sudden onset of COVID-19 symptoms."

Immediately after the news broke, fans, fellow artists, friends and family turned to social media to mourn the loss of the legend.

Bruce Springsteen was one of many artists who mourned the loss on Twitter. "Over here on E Street, we are crushed by the loss of John Prine," Springsteen wrote. "John and I were "New Dylans" together in the early 70s and he was never anything but the loveliest guy in the world. A true national treasure and a songwriter for the ages. We send out love and prayers to his family."

Miranda Lambert thanked Prine "for everything" sharing a sweet black and white photo of the two together, while Ashley McBryde calls it a "loss we can't comprehend."
