One of seven children, Johnny Cash was born in Arkansas on February 26, 1932, and grew up on the family farm. The Cash family made a very modest living in the cotton fields – a job Johnny was introduced to at the young age of 5!
46 years later, and following significant financial success as a country singer, Johnny had built the “House of Cash” on a farm, 25 miles outside Nashville – where he kept exotic animals.
The winter of 1981 was exceptionally harsh and as such, Johnny decided to move his animals into shelters to help them survive.
Johnny approached his 7-foot ostrich – Waldo, but the big bird wasn’t in a co-operative mood.
As Johnny cornered Waldo, the ostrich leapt into the air and delivered a vicious kick – splitting Johnny’s stomach wide-open. The force of the impact resulted in 5 broken ribs and internal bleeding.
