Justin Moore steps away, Alan Jackson makes Opry dream come true | Music City Minute

First, some tough news. Justin Moore announced this week that he's stepping away from touring to focus on his health. The "This Is My Dirt" singer shared the news on Instagram, saying "This is the right decision for me and my family, and I appreciate everyone's understanding and support." Moore, who has 11 No. 1 hits to his name, has already canceled two shows in Dewey Beach, Delaware and his participation on Riley Green's Cowboy as It Gets Tour – which kicks off June 18 – is now uncertain. While Moore didn't get into specifics, he says he hopes to be back on stage later this summer.   Now, for a moment that'll give you chills. On Sunday, the 35th anniversary of his own Grand Ole Opry induction, Alan Jackson called his great niece, rising country artist Carlisle Wright, to deliver the news every Nashville dreamer waits for. Jackson, whom Wright affectionately calls "Uncle Hat," invited her to make her Grand Ole Opry debut on June 28. Wright broke down in tears and said, "Words can't describe how special it was to have my Uncle Hat invite me to make my Opry debut." She made her CMA Fest debut last week and will open for Jackson at his sold out Last Call: One More for the Road farewell concert at Nissan Stadium on June 27.   I'm Brailey, and that's your Music City Minute.
