Prologue
Breaking News
Country Music Legend Dead
"We've just received the devastating report that country music legend, Heath Everdeen, has died. Ambulances were seen leaving the forty-six-year-old singer's Hollywood Hills mansion at around 3pm this afternoon. He was taken to hospital straight away but we understand that he was pronounced dead soon after arrival. Current reports suggest that his death may have been the result of an undetected heart defect and that he experienced a massive heart attack while at home."
"Heath Everdeen is the most successful country music star ever produced in this country. A cocky and handsome young man when he first started out, the Nashville native holds the record for most Grammy wins by a country music star as well as countless number one singles and albums. Even twenty-five years after his first released record he still pulls in huge crowds and generates huge album sales. His last album released, Deep in the Meadow, was the second highest selling album in the United States last year.
"His death is likely to devastate his young daughter and wife. Heath Everdeen married his second wife, Cashmere Diamond, only thirteen months ago in a lavish ceremony in Hawaii. Diamond was twenty years his junior but Everdeen had been seen regularly supporting the beautiful blonde singer as she promoted her first studio album. The album was released a month ago and went straight to the number one spot. Diamond talked regularly about her husband in interviews and always praised Everdeen for his love and support for her."
"Heath Everdeen also leaves behind a sixteen-year-old daughter, Katniss Everdeen, from his first marriage to Lily Everdeen. Everdeen often spoke passionately about the love for his daughter and was very proud of her. His family were a big inspiration in his song writing and his most famous hit, Mockingjays, was written for Katniss. More recently, Katniss had joined her father to sing on stage. Only last month they performed together at her father's show in San Francisco. Industry experts predicted the young Everdeen to follow in her father's footsteps and possibly eclipse his own success."
"Sadly this is not the first tragedy to befall the Everdeen family. It was only seven years ago that Heath's first wife, Lily, and their youngest daughter, Primrose, died in a tragic sailing accident while the family were on vacation. Little Primrose was only five years old at the time and their deaths devastated a nation. Everdeen relocated from Nashville to LA shortly after their deaths and removed himself from the public. He produced no new music for the first three years after they were gone. His former manager, Haymitch Abernathy, said their deaths almost destroyed Heath and it was only his other daughter that kept him going."
"But four years ago Everdeen made his triumphant comeback with a platinum selling album, a sold out national tour and an Oscar win for his original song, The Hanging Tree, from the film In the Seam."
"Heath Everdeen was a talented musician that brought joy to many different people all over America. He was a passionate family man and our thoughts go out to all his family and friends at this terrible time. Heath Everdeen, America loved you."
