Whatever World Nation News is, needs a new editor, it’s “Gilley”, not “Gilly”. You’d think they could get that right for an obit.

And this mangled mess: “He was performing recently like last month, but from last one week health was going bad.”
They must be hiring fifth grade “reporters.”

Spent a few Saturday nights at Gilley’s. Great fun and great music.

My thought when I read this as well. Fortunately I scrolled down enough to see that you beat me to it.

At 1 PM in the morning perhaps it was written at a bar table with a few drinks ? :)
Perhaps they were using "English as she is Spoke" to assist in their translation!
To: ProtectOurFreedom
I had to triple read that line. I thought I was having a stroke.

“1 pm in the morning” — WHO had the few drinks?

Not an English speaker.

“Not an English speaker.”
Then we agree — it was written by an American product of the American school system.

Text to Speech raises its ugly head again.
Is very common among what passes for reporters nowadays.
Siri and Goog have speech assistants that help us text, and help reporters that can’t type or spell, quickly finish their articles.
And they post it online before any editors actually read it.
Add in a foreign news aggregation website and the mangling is complete.

Thanks! That would explain it!
I attributed it to some English-as-second-language off-shore website in Kerala or Botswana!
To: Pete from Shawnee Mission
OK, I had to look up “English as she is Spoke.” Now I understand “to craunch a marmoset.”

“..also a cousin to Jimmy Swaggart...”
Also Jerry Lee Lewis.
Of the 3 and strictly thinking of just music, I like Swaggart the best something about that Boggie Woggie Gospel sound.
