There's something inherently haunting about the last song an artist ever performs live before they die.

Some of these songs bring the artist's career full-circle, while others tell a haunting story of a life cut short.

The list of country singers who died in plane crashes includes some of the biggest stars in country music history.

Flip through this list to remember the late Troy Gentry, John Denver, Patsy Cline and more icons who lost their lives in crashes.

Here is how local news announced the deaths of 10 country singers and celebrities.

Only true duos were considered for this list, not solo artists who teamed up for a song or album.

On September 8, 2017, Gentry agreed to take a helicopter ride before a show in Medford, N.J.

"Troy would have been so pleased," his wife says.

The singer will live on, not just through his music, but via his body parts that were donated after his tragic accident.

His riveting performance held the audience spellbound.
