Reba McEntire recalls how Kenny Rogers helped her to heal after losing most of her band in a plane crash. There was a devastating plane crash in 1991 where Reba lost a lot of her band members and her manager. Overall, the crash killed eight members of her team.
Reba and her husband and manager at the time, Narvel Blackstock split up the team into two planes for better time management. Reba had bronchitis so she would stay overnight and meet the band for the gig the next day. Unfortunately, the plane crashed.
Reba admitted that Kenny helped her when he asked her to do his made for TV movie called The Gambler. She said, “Kenny saved my sanity in ’91 when he asked me to come do ‘The Gambler’ movie. I was still in a state of disbelief and not knowing what I’m gonna do moving forward after the plane crash.”
