Brad
Paisley is stepping out of the country this week with shows in Norway and then
on to Dublin, Ireland, for a show on November 13th. As Brad sings his new
single "Southern Comfort Zone," it makes his return to his adopted
home of Tennessee a bit sweeter. He shares:
"As I tour, places like Canada and Europe and the North and
California and the Northwest and Japan over the years, and that there’s this
home base — there’s this circle of wood at the Opry, and it’s back here in
Tennessee where everything is as I remember it. And everything is…it’s
just…it’s the Shire in Lord of the Rings, it’s the place that’s this beautiful,
ideal place to live, which I appreciate more now after having seen the
world."-Brad Paisley, a West Virginia native

T.G.
Sheppard is back in the hospital just weeks after being released from a
Nashville-area facility. According to a Facebook post from his wife,
singer-songwriter Kelly Lang, the veteran entertainer is suffering from a
“severe” blood infection.
Sheppard,
who placed a string of 10 No. 1 hit singles on the country charts during his
prime in the ’70s and ’80s, still tours actively at age 68. But in October,
just days after a performance at the Reunion of Professional Entertainers
banquet, he was admitted to the hospital with a bladder infection that progressed into his blood
stream, as well as causing an elevated heart rate.
The ’Devil
in the Bottle’ hitmaker was discharged in mid-October, but apparently the
situation is still dire. “Without going in to too much detail, TG has been
admitted into the hospital again with severe blood infection,” his concerned
wife posted
to Facebook Tuesday morning
(Nov. 6). She added, “It is very serious. We need prayers.”
There
is no further information available at this time. We extending our prayers and well wishes to T.G. Sheppard and his family in their
time of need.
