Rachel Reinert Has Quit Gloriana
GLORIANA founding member RACHEL REINERT has quit the band. This leaves TOM and MIKE GOSSIN as the last two members. CHEYENNE KIMBALL said goodbye back in 2011.
In a statement, Rachel said, “I’m extremely grateful for everyone who’s been a part of this journey. I felt it was time to move on and follow my heart. I’m already working on the next chapter of my life as a solo country artist.”
She also wished Tom and Mike “all the best”, so I guess there’s a chance they didn’t know this was coming.
“Country Weekly“ reached out so she gave them a statement saying she had an unwavering commitment to the band . . . but had always dreamed of pursuing a solo career.
Rachel handles a lot of the band’s vocals, so they’ll either have to find another girl to replace her, or, go in another direction.
The guy who stole KACEY MUSGRAVES boots out of her car has been arrested after he tried to return them to the store where she bought them hoping to cash in. Bad move. Not only did the manager recognize the boots because he sold them her, but he also saw Kacey’s name on the receipt.
DIERKS BENTLEY had a pretty good time over the holidays. His loved ones? Not so much. Quote, “Everyone got sick in my family. There was a nasty bug going around. A lot of vomit in the Bentley household . . . but I avoided it. I’ve been on the road around too many germs so I’m immune to it. But even considering that [the holidays] were a great time.”
Would you like to see BRETT ELDREDGE “flower bombing” people? He posted a video on his YouTube channel where he walks around town giving out flowers to strangers . . . mostly women.
KELSEA BALLERINI is trying not to cry so damn much. Quote, “I’m like the biggest crier in the whole world. I’ve had to learn to have thicker skin and let some things brush off and let some things not make me stop.”
Speaking of Kelsea Ballerini: While on vacation in Florida she paid a visit to CHARLES KELLEY at his show in West Palm Beach. Next thing you know they’re doing LADY ANTEBELLUM’s “Need You Now”. (Here’s the video.)
