Outlaw country music star David Allan Coe has died at the age of 86.

The controversial singer-songwriter passed away on Wednesday, his widow Kimberly confirmed to Rolling Stone.Â

âOne of the best singers, songwriters, and performers of our time (and) never to be forgotten,â she wrote to the outlet. âMy husband, my friend, my confidant and my life for many years. Iâll never forget him and I donât want anyone else to ever forget him either.â

Coe is best known for his â70s songs You Never Even Called Me by My Name and Longhaired Redneck as well as the â80s tracks The Ride and Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile.

He also wrote hit songs for other artists, including Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone) for Tanya Tucker and Take This Job and Shove It, popularised by Johnny Paycheck. The latter earned Coe a Grammy nomination.Â

In addition, the musician also got into legal trouble in the 2010s. In 2015, he pleaded guilty to obstructing Americaâs Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from collecting taxes and was ordered to pay nearly $1 million (£741,000) the following year.Â

Coe was married six times, most recently to Kimberly in 2010.Â

He is survived by his wife and his five children: Tyler, Tanya, Shyanne, Carson and Shelli.

A cause of death has not been disclosed.
