November 19, 2017

This morning we learned that Mel Tillis had passed away, in Ocala, Florida. Shortly after news broke, Blake Shelton shared memories of Mel though a series of tweets.

One of the memories that Blake shared about Mel recalled a day they spent together. Blake said, "He once spent an entire day at his place in Tennessee showing me all the memorabilia he'd gathered over the years where he gave me a pair of his stage boots. He even took time to talk me through some hard times in my life on a couple phone calls."

Mel was obviously a big influence in Blake's life, as well as many others.
