American Legend Johnny Cash's Own Near Death Experience

Those of you who have an ear for emotion in music would not be surprised to learn that American country singer Johnny Cash had several personal spiritual experiences.
* In 1944 when Johnny was 12 his brother Jack (aged 14) was seriously hurt and a week later died after a tragic accident. On his deathbed, Jack said he had visions of heaven and angels.
* Johnny wrote that he had seen his brother many times in his dreams, and that Jack always looked two years older than whatever age Cash himself was at that moment.
* In 1968 he had a spiritual experience in the Nickajack that caused him to stop his habit of drug abuse. He had entered the cave high on drugs and alcohol, with the intent of committing suicide.
* In 1988 when he had a heart by-pass, he reported he saw ‘heaven’ and was angry about having to come back- something he said that completely changed his life. After this Johnny became more spiritual and made more gospel albums. He died in 2003 at the age of 71 years and is buried in Tennessee.
