George Jones’ Burial Monument Revealed
November 20, 2013
It’s been almost seven months since George Jones passed away, and now his widow, Nancy Jones, has unveiled a monument in the late singer’s honor.
Jones revealed the monument during an emotional graveside ceremony on Monday (Nov. 18), at Nashville’s Woodlawn Cemetery. The large structure has the words “He Stopped Loving Her Today” inscribed on top, underneath the name “Jones.” The structure also features a guitar and an etched photo of the couple, who were married for 30 years at the time of his death.

George Jones Family Establishes MTSU Scholarship
November 21, 2013
Nancy Jones, wife of country music legend George Jones, announced Monday (Nov. 18) that the Jones family has established a scholarship fund at Middle Tennessee State University in the hopes of creating a “living memorial” to the icon, who died in Nashville earlier this year.
“George would have liked the fact that MTSU attracts so many first-generation college students, as well as students who face financial challenges,” Nancy says in a press release. “Like George, they are hard-working folks who are determined to make their dreams a reality.”
The scholarship was announced in Nashville at the unveiling of a monument to the late singer. Nancy made the first donation to the fund, which will be overseen by MTSU Recording Industry Department Chair Beverly Keel. The pair were married for 30 years before his passing.
Donations to the fund can be made at MTSU’s website or by mail at George Jones Scholarship Fund, MTSU, Office of Development, Box 109, Murfreesboro, TN 37132. For more information, call 615-898-5595 or email

Stars Honor George Jones at Massive Nashville Tribute ConcertAlan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Kid Rock and more than a hundred others turn out for the Possum's final 'no show'
November 23, 2013
Music giants from George Strait and Garth Brooks to Sam Moore and Megadeth were among a whopping 112 artists who turned out to honor the late, great George Jones last night at a concert co-host Charlie Chase called "the largest tribute event in music history."
Clocking in a few minutes shy of the four-hour mark and boasting a set list spanning nearly 50 songs, the Opry-style marathon of duets, touching tributes and all-star jams – cleverly billed as Playin’ Possum! The Final No Show – was originally announced over a year ago as Jones’ star-studded farewell concert. But that changed in April, when the country legend died at the age of 81.
Though Jones was there at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena in spirit only – his rocking chair sat empty on stage, in front of his longtime backing band and last night’s house band, the Jones Boys – Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Kid Rock, Alan Jackson, Eric Church, Charlie Daniels and Jamey Johnson were among the artists on hand to sing for him.
"I think I was named after George," country icon, Jones footstep-follower and current CMA Entertainer of the Year winner George Strait joked near the night’s end, before bringing the house down with a faithful rendition of the 1974 Number One "The Grand Tour" – an obvious influence on Strait’s own butter-voiced classic "The Chair." It was just one highlight among many in a show overloaded with emotional moments.

Watch George Jones’ Final Performance of ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’ [VIDEO]
November 25, 2013
A video has emerged of George Jones performing the last song in his final show on April 6, 2013 at the Knoxville Civic Coliseum in Knoxville, Tenn. Jones finished the show with his epic hit, ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today.’
The 81-year-old was on what was supposed to be his farewell tour when he performed the concert. But unbeknownst to everyone else, the Possum had a feeling his health would prohibit him from continuing the multi-city trek.
“I just did my last show,” Jones told his wife, Nancy after he left the stage,. “And I gave ’em hell.”

Top 10 George Jones Songs
When George Jones was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992, Reba McEntire introduced the legend by saying “there are many ways to describe Country Music, but I can do it in just two words: George Jones.” You’re about to take a journey through Country Music history with our list of the Top 10 George Jones songs. From 1964′s ‘The Race Is On’ to 1980′s ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’ and the triumphant come-back of 1999′s ‘Choices,’ these are not only the greatest hits from the man known as “the Possum” — these are some of country music’s greatest hits overall.

Details, Grand Opening Announced for George Jones Museum
January 13, 2015
The long-awaited George Jones Museum is nearing its opening day. Jones’ widow Nancy has revealed that the four-story building will officially open on April 24, to coincide with the second anniversary of her husband’s April 26 death.
“We are overjoyed to share George’s legacy and memory with the Nashville community,” Nancy Jones says. “We hope that this will draw George’s friends and fans worldwide to our great city. George and I made this our home, and he would be happy to know that we found a home to continue his legacy in the heart of Music City.”
The museum will cover all aspects of the country legend’s life, from his childhood in Saratoga, Texas, to his time in the Marines and as a radio announcer for KTXJ in Jasper, Texas, before he began his career in country music.
The 44,000-square-foot property will also show the different phases of Jones’ life in country music, from his first hit, ‘Why Baby Why,’ through his hits into the new millennium. An interactive booth will allow fans to sing with the Possum, as well as view many of his personally owned items, including awards, gold and platinum records and other memorabilia.
In addition, there will also be a theater that will show videos of his performances, a restaurant, an event space and a gift shop, plus a 75-foot rooftop bar overlooking the Cumberland River.
The opening weekend will include the official launch of White Lightning Moonshine, which pays homage to Jones’ first hit of the same name, from 1959.
The George Jones Museum will be located at 128 2nd Ave. North in downtown Nashville. Browse through the gallery below to view artist renderings of the space.

George Jones’ Widow Sells Former Estate
July 10, 2015
The palatial home that George Jones shared with his wife, Nancy Jones, has been sold.
Nashville’s The Tennessean newspaper reports that Nancy Jones sold the 9,651-square-foot mansion and its surrounding 25 acres for $1.98 million to Nathan and Patricia Overton of Dickson, Tenn. The house features four bedrooms, seven-and-a-half bathrooms, two garages and a swimming pool. The gated property on Nestledown Drive in the affluent Nashville suburb of Franklin includes two barns, an RV or tour bus garage, an office, a guest house and a large pond.
Nancy Jones has devoted herself to keeping her late husband’s memory alive. She was on hand at the recent launch of the George Jones Museum in downtown Nashville, and she is also in talks to bring the turbulent life story of the country legend to the big screen. She says No Show Jones will chronicle her husband’s ups and downs, including his decades-long struggle with alcohol and substance abuse, and even his famously tempestuous marriage to Tammy Wynette.
“I don’t want any lies — I want it exactly the way George started the [script] when he started it six years ago,” she says. “It will be an honest, honest movie.”
