Friday night's (Nov. 22) Playing Possum: The Final No Show concert was all about George Jones, except for a few minutes in the middle that were dedicated to beleaguered singer Randy Travis. Actor Jon Voight took the stage to ask fans to create a human chain of love for the 'Tonight I'm Playing Possum' singer, who was a longtime friend to Jones.
George Jones was an unforgettable country music performer, so it's fitting that his farewell concert lineup at Bridgestone Arena is, well, unforgettable. The full performer list has been revealed, and it's chock full of some of today's most influential acts, as well as yesterday's favorites.
Two corn mazes within driving distance of Nashville are paying tribute to the Possum this fall. Fans can get lost inside the likeness of country legend George Jones during Halloween season. Overhead images of both reveal an older singer in his classic performance-wear and eyeglasses.
Had George Jones not passed away nearly four months ago, he'd be gushing over his new great-grandchildren this week. The dark-haired boy and girl twins were born to the legend's granddaughter, Jennifer Stultz, on Aug. 9, and they received a special present from the Possum.
George Jones will forever be an icon in country music. And now, with the release of 'God's Country: George Jones And Friends,' fans will be able to remember the singer in a very special way.
The country music community has been grieving since George Jones died in April. To help soften the blow -- and perhaps to cope with his feelings -- Randy Travis dedicated a new song called 'Tonight I'm Playing Possum' to a man many call the greatest country singer of all time. Joe Nichols joins Travis on this powerful duet.
