Joe Bonsall, the tenor singer for The Oak Ridge Boys, has announced he's retiring because of a disease that has made him unable to walk. He's now 75 and has been with the group since 1973, so two thirds of his life basically.

Michael...
...although i am not familiar with him ( i am now, thank you ) nor the Oak Ridge Boys, nor, his popularity as a tenor singer, as being here in UK...i sympathise with his illness as i too have the same illness...Neuro Muscular Disorder disease, affecting the Peripheral - Central Nervous System..

Huh! I missed this announcement. Sorry to hear it. I'd wish him well, but I guess it is past that now. He passed away on July 9. Even sorrier to hear that.

Thanks for this - Haven't seen the Oak Ridge Boys on TV forever - last I did see they were already bringing on younger singers that I think were the sons of those who were being replaced.
