Combs asked to be Opry member (he said yes)
The country star received the word on Tuesday when Craig Morgan, Chris Janson and John Conlee walked onstage to ask Combs if he wanted to join.
Conlee told Combs, "I just want you to know that the Grand Ole Opry" with Combs responding, "I love the Grand Ole Opry."
Morgan and Janson asked, "How would you like to be the next member of the Grand Ole Opry?"
Combs broke into tears after being asked and gave big hugs to Morgan, Janson and then Conlee. Combs then cried for awhile before saying "Holy cow. Are you serious because if you're not serious this would be really mean.
Combs then stayed on stage to sing another song.
"I don't know what else to say to the Grand Ole @opry except "thank you." I'm so humbled by this opportunity," Combs tweeted.
"I just can't believe it. It doesn't feel real. When I saw Craig Morgan, Chris Janson and John Conlee walk out, I thought, "This is how they invite people to become a member, but I don't deserve that yet." I believed them when they said they were coming out to sing with me. You just never think this is going to happen. When they asked, I literally couldn't believe it. I didn't even know what to say. There's nothing to say but yes, and I didn't even say yes. I just cried the whole time. Let me go on the record and say, "Yes."
"I don't know what else to say to the Grand Ole @opry except "thank you." I'm so humbled by this opportunity," he said.
Combs will be formally inducted at a later date.

CD reviews for Luke Combs
The saying, 'Strike while the iron's hot,' applies to many situations, but especially to the music business. The scene moves so fast these days that this last year's star could be this year's 'Where are they now?' Luke Combs moved quickly up the country music popularity ladder, so he's smart to put out this five-song EP between full-lengths.
First single, "Beer Never Broke My Heart," is a throwaway tune, built upon a solidly thumping, Waylon Jennings-like groove. ...
Luke Combs has gotten a lot of life out of his album "This One's for You," which includes his breakthrough hit "Hurricane," as well as the popular single "When It Rains It Pours." This deluxe edition includes five new tracks, many of which are just as strong as the original 12.
"Houston, We Got a Problem" includes a smart lyric highlighting specific details about that big Texas city. Even though it has all these famous landmarks, it doesn't have ...
Five years ago, when beer-drinking, truck-driving-in-the-country country songs were en vogue, Luke Combs' full-length debut would have fit right in. In 2017, when pop music rules the country market and male singers are more likely to wear a stylish jacket instead of a flannel shirt, Combs is positively refreshing.
"Hurricane," the first single and first top five hit of Combs' career, sounds like a typical Jason Aldean ballad at the onset, but then builds into something more ...
