“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.
