Chronicle: Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Sr. Dir., Producer & Writer Peter Cooper passed away in his sleep last night (12/6) in the hospital where he has been since sustaining a head injury over the weekend (CAT 12/5). He was 52. “We so appreciate the kind of words and prayers you have offered over the past few days,” shares Cooper’s family via Facebook. “Please know that they have provided Peter and us with much comfort.” CMHoF CEO Kyle Young states, “An award-winning music journalist, author, Grammy-nominated producer, recording musician, songwriter, baseball fanatic and former Senior Lecturer in country music at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music ... his talents were immense, but his heart was even bigger, and he touched the lives of those he encountered in immeasurable ways.” Cooper joined CMHoF in 2014 from the Tennessean and has also hosted CMHoF’s Voices In The Hall podcast. A celebration of life will be held in early 2023. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either the Baker Cooper fund to support Peter’s son’s education (Blake Cooper, c/o Wells Fargo Bank, 1712 West End Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203) or the CMHoF to support their cultural organization’s educational mission (22 Rep. John Lewis Way South, Nashville, TN 37203). Complete obituary here.
