[Bearbeiten] Events

• Country-Legende George Jones startete 1999 ein erfolgreiches Comeback. Nach Veröffentlichung seines bemerkenswerten Albums, Cold Hard Truth kam es am 6. März zu einem folgenschweren Zwischenfall. Der 67 Jahre alte Sänger wurde erheblich verletzt, als er mit seinem Wagen gegen eine Brücke krachte. Es stellte sich heraus, dass Alkohol im Spiel war.
• Eddy Arnold, einer der erfolgreichsten Country-Musiker aller Zeiten, erklärt im Mai seinen endgültigen Rücktritt vom Show-Business
• Johnny Rodriguez wird von einem texanischen Geschworenengericht freigesprochen. Er hatte in seinem Haus versehentlich einen Freund erschossen, den er für einen Einbrecher hielt.
