The Grammy-winning singer passed away Sunday due to complications from the disease known as COVID-19, so says his management company, Adkins Publicity. Diffie had just gone public with his positive diagnosis two days ago on Friday, posting a message to Facebook. He wrote,"I am under the care of medical professionals and currently receiving treatment after testing positive for coronavirus ." He went on,"My family and I are asking for privacy at this time. We want to remind the public and all my fans to be vigilant, cautious and careful during this pandemic."
Joe had countless singles land on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart throughout the '90s and into the early 2000s, including 5 that peaked at #1. Those songs include"Home,""If the Devil Danced ,""Third Rock from the Sun,""Bigger Than the Beatles," and"Pickup Man." The latter was the longest-lasting #1 hit, at four weeks.

His collab track"Same Old Train" won a Grammy in 1998.Tara Terpening Diffie
