“Tommy Cash was a loyal supporter of the Johnny Cash Museum and a very beloved member of our extended family as well as a highly respected member of the music industry.

“This great man will be deeply missed by his friends and many loyal fans around the world.

“Please keep Tommy’s beloved wife Marcy and his family in your prayers.”

Born in Dyess, Arkansas on April 5, 1940, after he left high school he enlisted in the army and worked as a DJ for the Armed Forces Radio Network.

He played with blues and country singer Hank Williams Jr, and landed his first record deal in 1965.

Four years later, he released the song Six White Horses, dedicated to the assassinated US political figures John F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

Cash was known for the songs Rise And Shine, I Recall A Gypsy Woman and One Song Away, and appeared in the 2016 teen film The River Thief with Highlander actor Paul Johansson.

ERIK TEN HAG turned to the Jurgen Klopp book of excuses after bomoaning Manchester United’s 12:30pm kick-off against Southampton.

Despite taking a swipe at Prem chiefs, United earned a professional 3-0 victory at St Mary’s at lunchtime on Saturday.

Ten Hag told TNT: “First of all, for the fans it is very unfair to deal with this, with 8pm away games on a Saturday night.

“The 12.30pm, it’s not right, but they are always there. I’m so proud of our fans that they are always there.

“Whatever happens on the pitch they always supportive of the team and there is a really good connection.

“They bring a very good ambience at Old Trafford and also at away games. I think the Premier League should pay some attention to this.”

Former Liverpool boss Klopp was notorious for hating 12:30pm kick offs, which he referred to as the “breakfast” slot.

It is surely one thing the German manager will not miss about the Prem as he repeatedly hit out at organisers whenever Liverpool played at 12:30pm.

In May, long-term critic Klopp said: “They dare to give us Thursday-Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday 12.30 – it’s a crime! I was waiting for Amnesty International to go to them.”

Asked if the scheduling of United’s matches represents a major disadvantage compared to rivals, Ten Hag is convinced it works against his players despite a 3-0 win this weekend.

The Dutchman added: “It’s a big disadvantage, but we have to deal with it as they did today.

“The team are mature, it doesn’t matter, we always have to win, we can’t bring any excuse.”

The Red Devils have already had to navigate two lunchtime kick-offs on the south coast, at Brighton and St Mary’s, in their first four games of the season.

And United travel to Selhurst Park to play Crystal Palace at 5:30pm next Saturday.

Ten Hag’s complaints would have made slightly more sense if there had been no international break.

Before Southampton, United’s last Prem game saw them fall to a humiliating defeat to rivals Liverpool at 4pm on a Sunday.

But that was the final Prem match before the two week Uefa Nations League interval.

Meanwhile, critics would argue that Ten Hag needed this must-win away triumph to keep his job safe for another week.

Andre Onana saved Cameron Archer’s first half penalty, before United scored twice before half-time through Matthjis de Ligt and Marcus Rashford.

Alejandro Garnacho rounded things off with a stoppage time hammer through a Casemiro assist.
