His manager of more than 40 years, Jim Morey, originally shared the news of Davis’ decline and announced his death late Tuesday night.
Very sad tonight! I just heard that legendary singer, songwriter and actor, Mac Davis has passed away after heart surgery. I grew up watching The Mac Davis show and loving his talent. This is heartbreaking!
