He was a singer-songwriter who wrote hits for other artists, including the iconic song "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", but struggled to record his own songs. Kristofferson's career spanned multiple genres, including country and rock 'n' roll, and he also had a successful acting career, starring in films such as "A Star is Born" and "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore". His family confirmed his death, with his wife Lisa stating that they were "blessed for our time with him". The cause of death was not specified.
