Mickey was 86 years old when he died, according to KHOU.
His death comes days after he canceled several tour dates, citing health issues and low energy levels as the cause.
On his personal Facebook, the singer said of the cancelation: "I am so sorry to have cancelled the May dates at the theatre in Branson. The last couple of weeks, my energy level and some health issues kept me from being 100% at my shows.
"So, I've been seeking doctors to get me back on track. I certainly don't like to cancel at the last minute, but unfortunately I had to make the late decision this weekend. I've cancelled all Branson shows through May to give anyone planning on seeing our shows the information so your plans could be adjusted accordingly."

He was so great. Looking For Love is one of my all-time favorites.
I could never hear that song in quite the same way, after hearing Buckwheat's version...
Had some good times at Gilley’s club in Stinkadena back in the day. Things changed a lot when the movie “Urban Cowboy” came out but not for the better.
Haven’t heard the word Stinkadena in years. When I was growing up not too far from there we’d call it that. Those Urban Cowboy, Astrodome, Oilers days are some of the best times in this great country of Texas. RIP Mickey and thanks for the memories.
Willie is still on tour. He's booked in New Braunfels on May 27. He's not dead.
I understand. None of the performers I listed are presently dead.
Willie has a new album out this year called A Beautiful Time. I’ve heard several very good songs from it.
That’s the first thing that popped in to my head ;)
I lived in Texas for years and went to “Gilleys”many times to 2 step. Rowdy and fun!
That was Johnny Lee
My Mom’s favorite.
RIP.
Mickey seemed to be the normal one of the three.
When you are a musician or a performer, it’s not what you do. It’s who you are.
