Country music and Hollywood legend Kris Kristofferson has “passed away peacefully” aged 88, according to his family, who were with him when he died.
Family was everything to Kristofferson, who had eight children, seven grandchildren and three wives in total. “I feel nothing but gratitude for being this old and still above ground, living with the people I love," he told NPR back in 2013. "I've got eight kids, and a wife that puts up with everything I do, and keeps me out of trouble."
