Lorrie Morgan Pays Tribute to Late Husband Keith Whitley More Than 3 Decades After His Death in Video
Lorrie Morgan is honoring her late husband Keith Whitley. On Saturday, May 10, the "Something in Red" singer shared a Facebook video compilation of her visiting Keith's grave with her family, including their son Jesse Keith Whitley. "Missing Keith Whitley," Morgan, 65, captioned the video. The "What Part of No" artist shared what appeared to be a flashback in a series of clips from May 9, 2023 that featured the text "Remember when...." In the clips, Morgan, her son Jesse, 37, and other family members could be seen relaxing on a picnic blanket in the cemetery, as well as images of Keith's headstone and what appeared to be Lorrie's headstone. The family also appeared to be enjoying a picnic while visiting the late musician's gravesite. In 1989, Whitley died at age 34 of alcohol poisoning, less than five years after his first entry onto the country chart. In 2022, Whitley posthumously joined the Country Music Hall of Fame class, where his widow shared some sweet words about him, noting that he "never knew how good he was." "He never accepted that he could have a great record deal, or he could have as much as anybody else had in this industry," she said while accepting the honor. "He would be absolutely blown away if he were here today. He would be saying that surely they got it wrong." Jesse also spoke during the ceremony, praising his late father. "He's got the best sad songs and love songs ever," he said. "If you want a history lesson in country music, that's who you need to listen to." is now available in the Apple App Store!
