I just want the picture to be as graceful and dignified as it was, because it at first looked like he was just taking a moment," Rigby said, adding,"We all lost someone important last night."Read MoreAn"Americana Pioneer," Olney produced more than 20 solo albums, according to his website. His second album included the song"Deeper Well," which Emmylou Harris covered in her 1995 album Wrecking Ball.
