“I am so excited how this show has evolved and I will be forever grateful to the artists that are coming to honor George,” his wife, Nancy Jones, says.  “The evening might be long, but I don’t think people will be upset as they will witness the best musical tribute Nashville has ever seen with so many artists performing George Jones songs.”

The Nov. 22 event was originally supposed to be Jones' farewell concert, before he passed away in April.  The concert, which is being held at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, is sold out, but a limited number of VIP packages might be available here.
