The 71-year-old songwriter suffered a heart attack during a performance in Florida on Saturday night.

Olney once wrote about Jesus from the narrative perspective of the donkey that carried him into Jerusalem, and about the Titanic from the perspective of the iceberg that sank the ship.

His official website has said his live concerts"blended tenderness and ferocity, theatre and sincerity, agitation and embrace". Miller wrote on Facebook after Olney's death:"Last night we lost David Olney, one of the finest songwriters I have had the pleasure of playing with and knowing." He added:"We started our set in the round with Amy Rigby. David was playing a song when he paused, said 'I'm sorry' and put his chin to his chest. He never dropped his guitar or fell off his stool. It was as easy and gentle as he was.Rigby wrote on her Facebook page:"Olney was in the middle of his third song when he stopped, apologised and shut his eyes. He was very still, sitting upright with his guitar on, wearing the coolest hat and a beautiful rust suede jacket.
