Johnny Cash's sister dies

The family of country legend Johnny Cash has suffered another blow - the singer/songwriter's sister has died.

Reba Cash Hancock lost her battle with a lengthy illness on Sunday - just before Reese Witherspoon picked up the Best Actress honour for playing her late sister-in-law June Carter Cash in biopic 'Walk the line'.

A funeral service for Cash Hancock, who managed the House of Cash museum and studio complex in Tennessee, will be held today.
