Concert with Paisley, Bentley, Tucker honors Jones on 10th anniversary of death
The special television taping event also will include Jamey Johnson, Justin Moore, Lorrie Morgan, Mark Chesnutt, Michael Ray, Sam Moore, Trace Adkins, Tracy Byrd and Tracy Lawrence. More artists will be announced.
"George Jones died on April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tenn. It will be 10 years since he left us with just his songs, so to produce this night of music to honor his legacy is perfectly fitting," said his widow, Nancy Jones. "George made history and influenced artists from all genres and many of them will celebrate with us in April. The night will bring lots of emotion for the fans, our family, and anyone who just loved country music."
Jones was the singer of enduring country music hits including "She Thinks I Still Care," "The Grand Tour," "Walk Through This World With Me," "Tender Years" and "He Stopped Loving Her Today," the latter of which is often at the top of industry lists of the greatest country music singles of all time.
Tickets go on sale on Thursday, 11 a.m. eastern., starting at $25.
