Best known for his songs \u2018Beautiful in Beaufort-Wes\u2019 and \u2018Soos Bloed\u2019, popular South\u00a0African singer and songwriter Theuns Jordaan, has died after being diagnosed with leukemia last year.<\/p>\n

Theuns died at the age of 50 on Wednesday morning, November 17.<\/p>\n

The news<\/a> was shared by his friend, Armand Hofmeyr, who took to Facebook to deliver a heartfelt tribute:<\/p>\n

\u201cTheuns my old friend, I learned a lot from you. Most of my writing work is based on what you taught me. I would\u2019ve liked to learn a lot from you. REST IN PEACE\u2026 This is heart breaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

After news of Jordaan\u2019s death broke, tributes poured in from fans and fellow artists.<\/p>\n

Acclaimed musician Coenie de Villiers told the Mail & Guardian of the \u201cvisceral shock\u201d of hearing about Jordaan\u2019s death, adding: \u201cWe thought that things were getting better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTheuns will always be with us and he will always be known for the rich sound of his voice and his wonderful integrity and quality of his music, which has become a stock standard part of [the] South African [music landscape], especially in the Afrikaans market,\u201d De Villiers said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will be sorely missed, not only as a friend, but as a musician, as a songwriter and as a massive presence in the South African firmament. We will miss you: rest in peace brother \u2014 travel safely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jordaan released his first album, Vreemde Stad, in 2000; ever since then his distinct raspy voice and stage presence has made him one of South Africa\u2019s most beloved singers.<\/p>\n

He gained prominence with the hit songs Soos bloed, Sal jy bly and Net voor die storm kom, and sold more than one million album copies. He received several accolades, including at the South African Music Awards in 2013 for a bestselling artist for his album Roeper.<\/p>\n

He also inspired young artists who shared the stage with him during music festivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
