Reba McEntire, a country legend, has faced her share of heartbreak despite her success. In 2022, she lost her mother, Jacqueline, to cancer, a devastating loss as they were very close. Jacqueline had once dreamed of being a singer and taught Reba how to sing. Reba paid tribute to her mother, saying she was at peace and loved deeply.
Reba’s sorrow didn’t end there. In 1991, seven members of her band and her manager died in a plane crash after a concert in San Diego. Reba and her then-husband had decided to stay behind, avoiding the ill-fated flight. The tragedy still deeply affects her, and she’s never missed an opportunity to honor those lost. In 2020, she reflected on the anniversary of the crash and her mother’s passing, reminding fans to cherish their loved ones. This year, she shared a video of her band, remembering their love for music and the strength it gave her to move forward.
