Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Country-bluegrass songwriter and instrumentalist Mike Henderson, who won Grammy and CMA awards as a collaborator of country superstar Chris Stapleton, died Friday at age 70.

His wife of nearly 45 years, Janet, said in a post on the musician’s website that he had been in “very good health” before dying peacefully in his sleep.

Henderson’s death was initially confirmed in a Facebook post by his former band, the SteelDrivers, which he cofounded with Stapleton and several other players in the mid-2000s.

Stapleton left the group in 2010 and Henderson followed a year later, although the band continues with an evolving lineup today.
