Cash home gutted by fire

The Tennessee home where Johnny Cash and his wife lived has been destroyed by fire, possibly sparked by a flammable wood preservative, though no cause is confirmed.

The late Johnny Cash's Tennessee home, where he and his wife lived out their final years, has been completely destroyed in a fire. The house was consumed by flame in minutes, and it's thought this was due to the recent application of a flammable wood preservative, although no official cause has yet been determined. The house was, as previously reported, purchased by Bee Gee Barry Gibb and his wife Linda back in 2006, but they had not yet moved into the property.
