It had to be hair weaves- it’s the only way to explain it.

Nashville,Tennessee- Jon Hager, [pictured right] a member of musical comedy duo The Hager Twins, was found dead Friday morning in his Nashville home. He was 67, and had been in declining health for months.

Mr. Hager and his identical twin brother, Jim, were featured performers on the country music show Hee Haw from 1969 until 1988. The brothers were known for their quick wits and for their harmony blend. In the 1970s and ’80s, the duo was billed as “The World’s Most Famous Twins.”

The brothers were playing at Disneyland in Southern California when country star Buck Owens saw their show and quickly signed them to a management and recording contract. For years, the Hagers opened shows for Owens, but Owens’ biggest contribution to the brothers’ career came when he brought them to the attention of Hee Haw’s producers. The twins were original cast members of Hee Haw, which became a top-rated syndicated show.

Mr. Hager was devastated by his brother’s death in May of 2008. “I can’t imagine anybody being closer than Jim and I were,” Mr. Hager told The Tennessean’s Beverly Keel last year. “We loved each other. Sometimes we had little (petty) contests, but we were there for each other.”

At the time of Jim Hager’s death, the brothers lived together in a Hillsboro Village house.

Friend and Metro Councilman Adam Dread said the brothers were two of the more outgoing members of the Nashville community.

“Neither one of them ever met a stranger,” Dread said. “They made everybody they met feel special.”

In a 2003 article, The Tennessean’s Misty Emery visited with Mr. Hager at an area coffee shop, where he conversed with most of the patrons.

Memorial service plans and other details have not been announced.
