The Everly Brothers go way back far as I can remember hearing music. Those harmonies live on forever. We're gonna miss you Phil. Gratitude.

"Foreverly" was mentioned in today's New York Times article about Phil's death, with a quote from Billie Joe ending the article:
"In 2013, younger musicians released two full-length albums of Everly Brothers songs: "What the Brothers Sang" by Dawn McCarthy and Bonnie Prince Billy (the indie rocker Will Oldham), and "Foreverly" by Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, a remake of every song — some traditional, some traditional-styled — on the 1958 Everlys album "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us."
The Everly Brothers are "such a mainstay," Mr. Armstrong said in November. "You either consciously grew up with them, or you subconsciously grew up with the Everly Brothers.""
