Short story:

Rockabilly performer and recording artist Luther Perkins dies in Vanderbilt University Hospital, from injuries sustained two days earlier in a fire at his newly-constructed home on Riverwood Drive, Hendersonville, Tennessee, USA. He had apparently fallen asleep in the living room while holding a lit cigarette. Perkins is perhaps best known as guitarist for Johnny Cash.
