Country music star Eddie Montgomery‘s world has been turned upside down since the tragic death of his Montgomery Gentry partner and close friend Troy Gentry in helicopter crash last September.
“You can’t be together 35 years and not have a lot of memories,” Montgomery reflected during a new interview with CMT. “There are a lot of memories I’d like to tell you that would make you fall over laughing, but you can’t put them out. We lived a lot of life together.”
Next week, Eddie will return to performing and will face his first Montgomery Gentry show without Troy by his side.
“I’ve thought, ‘Man, can I do this?’ Music is the only thing I’ve ever done,” he candidly shared. “I’m anxious to get into rehearsals because I think it’s all going to come together. I mean, there’s never going to be another T-Roy. He was so full of life. And I want to make sure nobody ever forgets Troy, and I want to make sure nobody ever forgets Montgomery Gentry.”
