Kris Kristofferson, actor, musician and long-haired activist who embodied the countercultural spirit of postwar America, died at his home in Maui, Hawaii, on Saturday, a representative confirmed.
He was 88. “It is with a heavy heart that we share the news our husband/father/grandfather, Kris Kristofferson, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 28 at home,” a family statement shared by spokesperson Ebie McFarland said. “We’re all so blessed for our time with him. Thank you for loving him all these many years, and when you see a rainbow, know he’s smiling down at us all.” The cause of death was not available.
His music came at a time when the nation’s baby boom was coming of age. Kristofferson was inspired by Hank Williams and Bob Dylan. By the 1970s, Kristofferson was a known talent in Nashville, having seen his song “Sunday Mornin’” performed by Johnny Cash.
