Barry Gibb ha acquistato la dimora dove ha vissuto per oltre 35 anni la leggenda del country Johnny Cash.
Barry ha espresso il proposito di mantenere la casa il più possibile intatta e di onorare la memoria di Johnny e sua moglie, June Carter.
La tenuta si trova ad Hendersonville, a circa tredici miglia da Nashville, la capitale della musica country.
"E' un incredibile onore, credo che userò la casa per comporre musica, è un luogo pieno di ispirazione", ha dichiarato Barry, che ha aggiunto che lui e sua moglie si sono letteralmente innamorati della casa. (Fonte: Yahoo music)
"Gibb Buys Johnny Cash's House"
(Associated Press) Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees has purchased the home where Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash, lived for 35 years.
Gibb and his wife, Linda, bought the rustic retreat on Old Hickory Lake for an undisclosed amount, a lawyer for the Cash family said Wednesday.
Hendersonville is 13 miles northeast of downtown Nashville. "This place will always be the spiritual home for the Cashes," Gibb said. "My wife, Linda, and I are determined to preserve it, to honor their memory. We fell in love with it; it's an incredible honor for us. We plan to use the home to write songs because of the musical inspiration."
The 13,880-square-foot home and 4.6-acre property was purchased by Balinda LLC, a Florida company owned by Gibb and his wife, according to Nashville lawyer Robert L. Sullivan, who administers the Cash estate for the family.
The house, visited by everyone from U.S. presidents to ordinary fans, went on the market in June with an asking price of $2.9 million. The price was lowered this fall to $2.5 million. Cash died in 2003, soon after the death of June Carter Cash.
His hits include "Ring of Fire," "Folsom Prison Blues" and "I Walk the Line." (Source: Yahoo music)
