I guess they just couldn’t handle the fame of selling out the varsity

As sad as Turnpike is, at least Vince Gill delivers on the back half of the video.

They’re slated to play a music fest here in August. I know some of the financiers of it, and I told them what a risk they were taking putting them as headliners. They said they have some pretty ironclad contract stuff in there to avoid getting screwed by the band (singer).

Sources saying hes going back to rehab late May after a run of shows. Interesting play. Fans and money over health I guess. Who knows how the quality of those shows will be.


That worked out well for Shannon Hoon.

Doing more shows at the expense of his health isn't doing anyone in that band any favors. They need to shut it down for awhile and get this dude no less than 90 days help. The fans will reward them in the long run for having a stable frontman.

Seriously, is this alcohol or is he into something else? He pretty much remembered all of the words but his voice is completely wrecked. He sneaks off stage that last song and whatever that was took him to la-la land. It really is sad to watch.

Why in the hell would Fulbright want to be involved in that mess? Dude has his career going just how he wants right now.


Fullbright is doing ok......but he ain’t turnpike. Plus he could open turnpike shows solo. Would be a great opportunity for him.

Time to shut that shite down. It's fraud to sell tickets to see crap like that.

Get him to rehab and try again later.

my issue is that the management is acting like nothing is going on and having them continue this mess, promoting shows etc.

Better get his shite together before the Red Rocks show 06/18.

Just bought tickets yesterday, but I know there’s a chance it doesn’t happen.

Seriously, this is a pretty standard arc for regional red dirt acts. Why are people obsessing so much on this guy? Because he banged a slightly well known national country singer?

So I’m guessing Miranda chewed him up spit him out and the ex wife wouldn’t take him back? Poor guy, it’s pretty easy to see why he’s in the shape he is in right now. He’s either going to get clean and write some more amazing songs or be the next in the Hank and Keith Whitley bunch. So sad.

Miranda dumped him when he embarrassed her by getting too fricked up at social events.
