Friday, September 8th Troy Gentry, one half of Country Music duo Montgomery Gentry, died in a helicopter accident! The 50 year old country star was scheduled to perform at the Flying W Airport and Resort in Medford, New Jersey! The country music world was stunned at the news!

The Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville will host a public celebration of life for Troy Gentry this Thursday, September 14 at 11 a.m. Central Time. The duo Montgomery Gentry became members of the Opry in 2009!

You can view the celebration via Live Stream at www.opry.com/troy-gentry

Apparently Troy and Eddie finished up some vocals on a new album just before Troy died in a tragic helicopter accident. The record was set to come out in 2018 to celebrate Montgomery Gentry’s 20th anniversary as a duo. Still no word if that album will be released or not!
