Hank Williams was born Hiram King Williams, so I agree with editing to Hiram "Hank" King Williams. 👍

[In America in English] Hank Williams is commonly known as Hank Williams (no suffix; while his son is known as Hank Williams Jr or Hank Jr, and his grandson is known as Hank Williams III or Hank III). He acquired the "Sr" suffix later in life, when his son, Hank Jr, was born. I think it's better to leave off the suffix in this case.

This is a balance of using the most complete version of his name and the name by which he is most well known.
