Randy Travis made a special appearance on the Opry stage Saturday night (May 4) to celebrate his 60th birthday. In honor of the big day, Travis fans Charles Esten, Josh Turner, and Charlie Worsham all performed on the Opry singing some of their favorite Travis songs, along with fellow Country Music Hall of Famer Don Schlitz, who wrote or co-wrote a number of Travis’ biggest hits.
At the end of the special evening, Travis joined Schlitz, other performers on the show, and a number of friends and family members to sing his classic, “Forever and Ever, Amen.” Following that, the sold-out audience joined in a singalong of “Happy Birthday” to the legend.
Travis signed a Nashville record deal in 1985, became a country sensation with the release of his landmark album Storms Of Life, and joined the Opry in 1986. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016.
