Blake Shelton is honoring the legacy of Joe Bonsall, the beloved Oak Ridge Boys member who passed away this week at 76 after a four-year battle with ALS. Bonsall’s death on Tuesday, July 9, confirmed by a family spokesperson and announced by The Oak Ridge Boys on social media, has deeply impacted the music community, leading to numerous heartfelt tributes. Shelton took to X (formerly Twitter) with a throwback photo of himself performing with Bonsall and the other Oak Ridge Boys members, writing, “I’m heartbroken to hear of my friend Joe Bonsall’s passing. I’ve NEVER seen Joe when he wasn’t smiling and completely full of life. He absolutely loved singing like no one I ever met.” The 48-year-old singer extended his thoughts and prayers to Bonsall’s family and his Oak Ridge Boys “brothers.” Fellow country star Reba McEntire also shared a touching message on Instagram, remembering Bonsall as “a terrific entertainer, singer, and a wonderful friend.” Joe Bonsall is survived by his wife, Mary, their daughters Jennifer and Sabrina, two grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. His passing is a significant loss to the country music world, but his legacy and musical contributions will continue to be celebrated.
