Randy Owen

Friday night's show in Ottawa, Can. and Saturday's show at the Big Sky Music Festival in Oro-Medonte, Ont. were both canceled.

The frontman is suffering from vertigo and migraines.

He has helped countless people over the years.

He couldn't help but cry — he had to leave the stage.

Randy Owen's name is now immortalized at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

The singer was a surprise guest at the 2018 St. Jude Country Cares seminar on Saturday night in Memphis, Tenn.

The star of the Grand Ole Opry on Wednesday night (Sept. 13) wasn't Randy Owen or Charles Esten. It wasn't even Luke Bryan. A 5-year-old named Kael stole the hearts of everyone watching and listening.

Martina McBride and Randy Owen led a list of stars who played for a special audience at the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday night. Each performed and met with families for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on a night that recognized Country Cares for St. Jude Kids, the country music fundraising arm co-founded by Owen 26 years ago.

This year the Country Cares arm of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's fundraising celebrates its 26th year. Randy Owen has been the face of a platform that has included hundreds of country radio stations and raised over $600 million dollars. He says he has a successor in mind, and a goal to hit before he steps away.

Backstage at the Grand Ole Opry on Tuesday night (Sept. 23), one saw the usual: a new artist -- in this case, Tae from Maddie & Tae -- wringing her hands as she prepared to make a debut, a slightly less new artist posing for a picture with a legend -- in this case Eric Paslay with Alabama's Randy Owen -- and the shuffling of talent to the circle and back for 10 to 15 minute mini-sets. Yet there was a different energy for this performance at country music's most well-known venue.
