"Mel Tillis was a guy who had it all: He could write, he could sing and he could entertain an audience," said Grand Ole Opry announcer and WSM DJ Eddie Stubbs. "There’s a big difference between a concert and a show. Mel Tillis always put on a show....You always felt good about being around him."

RIP, Mel. Crying or Very sad

That said, this is part of what Blake Shelton said on Twitter....

Quote:
"I looked up to Mel more than he could've possibly known," Blake Shelton posted. "He even took time to talk me through some hard times in my life on a couple phone calls."


Seems that I can recall Blake disparaging old-school classic country music performers and their fans by referring to them as "old farts" and "jackasses" a few years ago! Shocked

I was at Mel's house once. Didn't get to meet him, but it just felt so 'normal' being there.
