Keith Whitley

His death was tragic, but his legacy lives on.

Here is how local news announced the deaths of 10 country singers and celebrities.

When you're heart's broken, there's nothing more soul-soothing than country music.

Love is in the air.

Wallen's been hinting that he's planning to release a new album next year.

"If you don't win 'The Voice,' you just won a career."

"He would feel so undeserving," Morgan shares.

Mickey Guyton and Ricky Skaggs also honored the late country music hitmaker.

He is perhaps more cherished by the current generation of country stars than he was when he died in 1989.

Keith Whitley and Jerry Lee Lewis and music executive Joe Galante will become the 147-149th esteemed members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
