Scotty McCreery is mourning the loss of his good friend, Yameer Greene.<\/p>\n

Greene, 26, was tragically killed in a car accident on Tuesday morning (July 21), when his vehicle was struck head-on by an oncoming car at a high rate of speed. According to WRAL-TV, Greene and the two passengers in the other vehicle died.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

After learning of his friend\u2019s untimely passing, McCreery took to social media to share a message to Yameer Greene.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many great memories with you that I will always hold on to. Everyone who knew you, loved you,\u201d he wrote. \u201cRest easy. I cant wait to see you again one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

He later honored Greene with a stunning musical tribute.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor my buddy Yameer. One of the kindest and brightest souls I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d McCreery wrote. \u201cEveryone who knew him loved him. Love you and miss you man. Rest easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer\/songwriter went on to share a touching cover of Vince Gill\u2019s \u201cGo Rest High on That Mountain.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCreery appeared to be overcome with emotion during his acoustic performance of the beloved track and at one point, it looked like he was holding back tears.<\/p>\n

The former American Idol champ and Greene both graduated from Garner High School in Garner, North Carolina.<\/p>\n
