Johnny lived a long and rather turbulent life, fighting his demons of drug and alcohol addictions. He is known for giving concerts in penitentiaries across the USA.
Here, he can be seen in an empty stare, like he is physically there but not in spirit. This photograph shows him at his final performance in July 2003, two months after his beloved wife, June Carter Cash, had passed away. His last performance took place at the Carter Ranch in Hiltons, VA and it was not made public. This was his last goodbye.
