Mindy McCready’s death of an apparent suicide Sunday night shocked the music industry, saddening dozens of her peers and millions of her fans.
Though those who knew McCready best are heartbroken, they didn’t seem terribly surprised by the troubled singer’s death. Her ex, Billy McKnight, said as much on TODAY Monday morning, while country luminaries offered their condolences on Twitter.
