Blake Shelton recently performed at a charity concert in memory of his friend Troy Gentry, who was killed in a helicopter accident in 2017.
Chris Janson, Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts and more also sang at the event, which raised money for the Troy Gentry Foundation. Together, they raised over $300,000.
In this audience video, Blake sang a song he co-wrote with Miranda Lambert. Blake said,
“I played him a song that I wrote with MIiranda . . . and she had a great record on this. [It] was about my brother, and Troy didn’t know it was about my brother, and at the time he had lost his brother.
“I remember after I played the song I looked at him and I could tell that it hit had him really hard. He wasn’t crying or anything, he was just beside himself a little bit.
“And I remember thinking, ‘Wow, he went through the same thing that I went through, losing my brother. And I feel like tonight it’s only appropriate that we do this song for Troy this time.”
(the part about Troy begins at 3:59, song starts at 5:05)
