LORETTA LYNN: Mourns Loss of Grandson

  

Loretta Lynn has postponed her upcoming shows this weekend as she mourns the loss of her grandson, Jeffrey Allen Lynn, who died on Monday. He was 47.

The announcement was made on the singer's Facebook page. It says, "American music icon, Loretta Lynn is mourning the passing of her eldest grandson, Jeffrey Allen Lynn who died unexpectedly on Monday. Jeffrey was 47 and lived and worked on Loretta Lynn's ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee. Jeffrey was the eldest son of Jack Benny Lynn, Lynn's second child and eldest son who tragically drowned in 1984. Jeffrey Allen Lynn is survived by three children, Jory, Katie and Cody."

Loretta was scheduled to perform Friday and Saturday in Oklahoma, but those shows have been postponed so that she can be with her family.


DOLLY PARTON: Auctioning Vow Renewal Photos

Photos from Dolly Parton's 50th anniversary vow renewal with her husband Carl Dean will be sold to the highest bidder -- and the proceeds will benefit children's charities.

She says, "If I had it to do all over, I'd do it all over again, and we did. I'm dragging him kicking and screaming into the next 50 years. Wish us luck. In all honesty, the only way I was able to get Carl to do any of this in the first place was that it was a great opportunity for us to raise money for some very worthy causes."

The photos are significant because fans will get to see what the rarely photographed Carl looks like. He also agreed to an interview that will appear with the pictures.

Dolly and Carl were married on May 30th, 1966.


KACEY MUSGRAVES: Christmas in June?




Kacey Musgraves's next album will be quite a departure for her.

She posted a photo of herself on Instagram decked out in red and green with the caption, "It might be June, but we're gettin' festive! Be expecting a very special Christmas record for all you little elves comin' out just in time to stuff your stockings! Put it on your lists! That's all for now!"

No word on what songs will be on the record or a release date.


BLAKE SHELTON: Filming New Video at Miranda's Old Store?


The spies are out in Blake Shelton's hometown Tishomingo, Oklahoma, where it appears that Blake has been shooting a video.

A super fan posted a picture on her Instagram of a couple of buses and trucks parked outside of the former Pink Pistol, once owned byMiranda Lambert and recently purchased by Blake. Then video director Adam Rothlein posted a shot on his Instagram of him and Blake with the caption, "That's a wrap #blakeshelton #musicvideo Great time with such an awesome guy and his team of great folks!"

Now the question is: Which song is the clip for -- "Savior's Shadow" or "She's Got a Way With Words"?
