[QUOTE="Admin, post: 64948, member: 1"] Country music legend and Hollywood star Kris Kristofferson has died aged 88, his family has announced. Kristofferson, a Grammy Award-winning country music legend and star of films such as Blade and Planet of the Apes, died at his home in Maui on Saturday, September 28, surrounded by his family. “It is with a heavy heart that we share the news our husband/father/grandfather, Kris Kristofferson, passed away peacefully on Saturday, Sept. 28 at home,” a statement on behalf of Kristofferson’s wife, Lisa; his eight children, Tracy, Kris Jr., Casey, Jesse, Jody, John, Kelly and Blake; and seven grandchildren, read on [URL='https://www.facebook.com/kriskristofferson/posts/pfbid0Pkup6xqU1r88NZvuoVgcg7UGRq1rYbTH7ci6pyFM73H4hmVH7i9mnwAVRdxy6oHTl?locale=en_GB']Kristofferson’s official Facebook page[/URL]. “We’re all so blessed for our time with him. Thank you for loving him all these many years, and when you see a rainbow, know he’s smiling down at us all.” – The Family of Kris Kristofferson. “The family asks for privacy during this time.” Aside from his wildly successful music career which began in the late 1960s, Kristofferson starred in a number of Hollywood films, including Martin Scorsese’s 1974 romantic comedy drama Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, and with Barbra Streisand in 1976 musical romantic drama A Star Is Born. Later, Kristofferson played Abraham Whistler in Marvel’s Blade film trilogy alongside Wesley Snipes, Karubi in 2001’s Planet of the Apes, and, in his final role, Edwin Fuller in Ethan Hawke’s 2018 biographical drama film based on the life of country musician Blaze Foley.
