The death of Earl Thomas Conley yesterday in Nashville at age 77 has affected many in country music and Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean are the latest superstars to post about the 1980's country hit maker.

Luke posted to his socials last night, "Rest In Peace. Earl Thomas Conley. Your music has been a constant always in my life. Three letters always. ETC!!! Prayers to your family and fans."

Jason Aldean took to Instagram to say, "RIP “ETC”... Man what a voice this guy had. Spent many nights listening and playing his songs. Country Music lost a great one today guys. #EarlThomasConley #ETC

Blake Shelton reported the death via Twitter yesterday saying ETC was his "hero and friend."
