Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are one of music’s hottest couples, but the fan favorite duo are currently going through a rough time after the death of their close friend Micheal James Ryan, or “Busbee” as he was known to his pals.
In Touch Weekly reports that Busbee was a Grammy-nominated music producer and songwriter who has worked with many stars other than Blake and Gwen, including Keith Urban, Maren Morris, Pink, Florida Georgia Line, Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera, and Shakira. He was diagnosed with brain cancer over the summer and recently passed away.
Busbee’s death prompted Blake to speak out on behalf of himself and Gwen about the pain of losing their friend.
