Kellie Pickler Performs Heartfelt Tribute to Late Husband at Patsy Cline Concert
Country music singer Kellie Pickler made an emotional return to the stage on Monday night, performing for the first time since her husband Kyle Jacobs’ tragic death last year. The performance took place at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium as part of a tribute concert honoring the legendary Patsy Cline.
Pickler chose to perform “The Woman I Am,” a song she and Jacobs co-wrote for her 2013 album of the same name. In a touching moment, she shared with the audience that the last time she was at the Ryman Auditorium was on a date night with Jacobs and that she felt his presence with her during the performance.
Jacobs, a talented musician and songwriter, was found dead at the couple’s Nashville home in February 2023. An autopsy later confirmed that he had died by suicide. The news of his death sent shockwaves through the music industry and left Pickler devastated.
Since Jacobs’ passing, Pickler has been open about her grief and shared that one of the most valuable lessons he taught her was to “do nothing, just be still” in times of crisis. She expressed her gratitude for the support she has received from family, friends, and fans during this challenging time.
Pickler’s return to the stage marked a significant step in her healing journey. Her heartfelt performance was a testament to the love and bond she shared with Jacobs and served as a reminder of his enduring legacy in the music world.
