Gord Bamford, an Australian-Canadian country music artist, paid tribute to him on social media, uploading a few pictures and saying he remembers singing at Longview Hall and looking up then I saw someone standing in the doorway looking at me. He quickly realized it was Tyson and continued,
“He stood there singing a few songs and then disappeared. I went back to my dressing room after the performance and found him waiting there with drinks and food! “You are a very wonderful child,” he commented. Keep doing what you’re doing, and good luck.” We talked for a while, and he asked me to come see the old stone house later.”
Bamford expressed regret at not being able to speak to Tyson and ended by saying they had lost a legend and that his sympathies went out to Tyson’s family, friends and fans.

Despite attracting a large fan base, an incident at Havelock Country Jamboree in 2006 left his vocal cords irreparably damaged and he contracted the virus the following year. . This also resulted in the quality of his vocals, for which he was previously famous, to be degraded. Despite that, he went on to release albums like Yellowhead to Yellowstone and Other Love Stories, Songs from the Stone House, Raven Singer, All the Good’ Uns Vol. 2, and Carnero Vaquero. Some Kind of Fool, The Moondancer, Oklahoma Hills, Cowboys Don’t Cry, Magpie, and many other hits made him famous.
