“I am thrilled and honored that so many of George’s friends are coming to what would have been his last concert, but is not a fitting tribute,” says Nancy Jones, the country music legend’s widow, in a news release. “George loved these artists and before passing had actually wrote letters to almost all of them.”
While performing in her home state of Texas over the weekend, the Grammy winner confirmed on Facebook that she is opening a second Pink Pistol location in her hometown of Lindale.
OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City prosecutors have filed felony charges against rapper Mack Maine following an alleged altercation with two women aboard a tour bus.
The 33-year-old man from New Orleans, whose real name is Jermaine Anthony Preyan, faces charges of aggravated assault and battery and sexual battery. The charges were filed Friday.
Preyan is also the president of Young Money Entertainment, a record label founded by rapper Lil Wayne.
An affidavit says Preyan invited the two women on the bus Aug. 22. It says Preyan grabbed one woman's right breast and that he held the door shut when the women tried to leave.
The affidavit also says Preyan allegedly punched the second woman in the face, breaking her jaw and knocking her down.
Attorney Tony Coleman wouldn't comment.
