CHEYENNE, Wy. -- Chris LeDoux, a former world champion bareback rider who parlayed songs about the rodeo life into a successful country music career, died Wednesday from complications of liver cancer. He was 56.
LeDoux had checked into the hospital this week and was with family and friends at the time of his death Wednesday in Casper, according to Judy McDonough, spokeswoman for Capitol Nashville, his recording company.
"All of us at Capitol Records and EMI Music are saddened at the passing of Chris," said Capitol Nashville President and CEO Mike Dungan. "In a world of egos and sound-alikes, he was a unique artist and a wonderful man. We have always been proud to represent his music, and honored to call him our friend."
In November, LeDoux canceled several tour dates while undergoing treatment for cancer of the bile duct.
