HUGHIE THOMASSON, the founder of country rockers THE OUTLAWS, has died from an apparent heart attack.
The singer/guitarist died at his home in Florida on Sunday (09Sep07), aged 55.
The Outlaws formed in the late 1960s and released a hit debut album, called The Outlaws, in 1975.
After scoring hits with anthems like Green Grass + High Tides and There Goes Another LoveSong, the group became a live staple until disbanding in 1990.
Thomasson then started touring with Lynyrd Skynyrd until The Outlaws reunited two years ago (05).
