Country music star George Jones is donating a burial plot next to his own in Nashville, Tenn., for colleague Johnny PayCheck, who died earlier this week.

"We all know and love each other, even though we don't get together. Anything of this nature, it's taken care of by friends," Jones told WSMV-TV in an interview broadcast Friday. Friends said PayCheck died broke.

PayCheck played in Jones' band early in his career, and the two later recorded an album called "Double Trouble."
