Jones announces final Nashville show
Special guest Tanya Tucker will be on hand for the Nashville concert amongst other friends of The Possum, yet to be announced.
"The Grand Tour will have surprises throughout the shows - you never know who may show up. The Possum has lots of friends so it is going to be the most exciting thing to see who shows up during the final show. You should come too - and we can be surprised together," said Jones.
