Country star David Allan Coe dies

The music world is mourning the passing of David Allan Coe, a central figure in the outlaw country movement, who has died at 86.

Coe's career spanned decades and was marked by both chart-topping hits and significant controversy.

He is best remembered for writing the working-class anthem 'Take This Job and Shove It,' which became a massive hit for Johnny Paycheck.

Coe's legacy remains complex, defined by his raw talent and his refusal to conform to the Nashville establishment.
