A good way to die - folk singer David Olney finished a song on-stage, closed his eyes, and passed...

Folk singer-songwriter David Olney died Saturday in the middle of his set at the 30A Songwriters Festival in Florida, Billboard reports. Olney had played his third song from his set, took a pause, apologized and closed his eyes. He never dropped his guitar or fell of his stool. Singer-songwriter Amy Rigby, who was performing alongside him at the 30A Songwriters Festival, was there when it happened and had written this on Facebook: "He was very still, sitting upright with his guitar on, wearing the coolest hat and a beautiful rust suede jacket we laughed about because it was raining like hell outside the boathouse where we were playing. I just want the picture to be as graceful and dignified as it was because it at first looked like he was just taking a moment".
