Reba McEntire understands sorrow and loss deeply. In 1991, she lost seven band members and her tour manager in a plane crash during a concert tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On March 16, 1991, McEntire and her band performed in San Diego. Two planes were prepared to transport the band to Fort Wayne, Ind. The band members and tour manager flew ahead, leaving McEntire, her husband Narvel Blackstock, and her stylist in San Diego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a 2012 interview with Oprah Winfrey, McEntire recalled, \u201cThe tip of the plane\u2019s wing hit a boulder on the edge of Otay Mountain, and it killed everyone on board.\u201d Narvel informed her of the crash at 2 or 3 a.m. She asked, \u201c\u2018Are they OK?\u2019 \u2018I don\u2019t think so,\u2019 he responded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friends like Vince Gill and Dolly Parton offered their bands to finish the tour, but McEntire declined. Her next album, \u201cFor My Broken Heart,\u201d was dedicated to the lost band members and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, selling four million copies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McEntire regularly honors the anniversary of the tragedy. On the 25th anniversary, she visited the crash site and shared, \u201cI have a feeling they realize how much we miss them. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to all the families and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
