Reba McEntire knows what it’s like to go through tough times. In 1991, something really sad happened to her. While she was performing at a big event in San Diego, a plane crash happened after the show. Her tour manager and seven band members, who were like family to her, died in the crash.
The crash happened on March 16, 1991, right after Reba and her band gave an amazing performance.
After the show, some of the band members were supposed to fly to Fort Wayne, Indiana, for the next concert. Reba, her husband Narvel Blackstock, and her stylist Sandi Spika stayed in San Diego for the night. They didn’t get on the plane that crashed.
In 2012, Reba McEntire talked about what happened in a sad interview with Oprah Winfrey. The second plane that took off safely reached its destination.
But sadly, the first plane crashed only ten miles away from the airport. This crash changed the lives of the people left behind forever.
Reba told Oprah that the first plane crashed into a boulder on the edge of Otay Mountain, and everyone on board died. When they heard the news, Reba’s husband Narvel talked to their pilot.
Narvel came back to the hotel room late at night, around two or three in the morning, where Reba was waiting. The tragedy made the atmosphere heavy. Narvel told Reba that one of the planes crashed.
Reba asked about their friends, hoping they were okay. But Narvel’s answer made her lose hope. He said, “I don’t think so,” which made them both feel unsure.
Reba and Narvel wanted to know all the details about what happened to their loved ones. Reba’s voice shook with real sadness as she talked about how Narvel looked for answers on the phone. She said, “It’s been 20 years, but the sadness never really goes away.” Reba remembered how Narvel paced around, feeling really sad.
Reba found comfort in her close friends, like Vince Gill and Dolly Parton. After the tragedy, they offered to help finish the tour, but Reba said no.
Instead, she focused on healing herself. She poured her heart into her next album, “For My Broken Heart.” It was a way to remember her lost friends and show her love for them.
The album did really well. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and sold four million copies.
Every year, Reba McEntire remembers the people who died in a sad incident. She uses social media to keep their memory alive. In 2014, she made a special post on Instagram to remember the anniversary of the crash.
Then, in 2016, on the 25th anniversary of the tragedy, Reba went to San Diego, a place that was important to her because of what happened. She shared this important journey on social media with her fans, so they could see how she was doing.
Reba wrote a heartfelt message herself. She said, “Today is the 25th anniversary of the plane crash. I went back to San Diego in November and took a helicopter to the crash site. I felt like the people who died knew how much we miss them. I send my condolences and prayers to all the families and friends affected by this tragedy.”
Tom Sellek opened up about his struggles amid the cancellation of his tv-show ‘Blue Bloods’
Tom Selleck discussed his financial concerns following the discontinuation of “Blue Bloods,” the television program in which he played the top cop for the New York Police Department for 14 seasons, in a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning. In addition, the actor is coping with health problems.
At his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California, where the meeting was held, Selleck voiced concerns about his capacity to keep ownership of the land now that his primary source of consistent income is coming to an end.
With an emphasis on the value of a steady salary, Selleck—whose ranch was once an avocado farm—frankly addressed the realities of financial stability in the acting industry.
Even though the actor had a long and prosperous career in show business, he told the interviewer that although he might be set for life in general, it would be difficult for him to afford to maintain such a large property.
In response to a question regarding his seriousness, Selleck underlined that he needed to find new employment in order to maintain his lifestyle and control his spending.
Many of his supporters are taken aback by this discovery, since they may have assumed that his long career in Hollywood would have guaranteed him a stable financial future.

The Hollywood Gossip reports that Selleck’s management have vehemently refuted these allegations, claiming that the actor is “fit and vigorous.”It’s
Selleck has not officially acknowledged any particular health concerns in spite of these allegations. Nonetheless, he has admitted in previous interviews that doing his own stunts over the years has worn down his body, especially his back. Astute viewers have seen that Frank Reagan, his character on “Blue Bloods,” walks with a limp, which has increased conjecture on his health, according to The Mix.
Remaining busy at seventy-nine, Selleck just published his well-received book, “You Never Know.” He still enjoys his life on his 63-acre ranch in Ventura County, California, striking a balance between his work and family obligations.
