Where is Gretchen Wilson now?
After taking a break, a lot has changed for Gretchen Wilson. Her daughter already entered college, and her body was able to recuperate. And so, she got back to the studio and put together a new album, Ready to Get Rowdy, which she released on June 16, 2017. For this one, she focused on her songwriting and worked with fellow songwriters Desmond Child and Marti Frederiksen, who have all previously worked with big names in the music industry.
But since a few years have passed, she felt apprehensive to go back on stage. Nevertheless, the excitement was still there, and she definitely craved the live show with all the highs and emotions rolled into it. She also missed the crowd singing back the words to her.
Sadly though, Gretchen Wilson’s comeback got a bit of a hitch in 2018 when she was taken into police custody after she had an altercation with a fellow passenger aboard a commercial flight from D.C. to Connecticut. She was charged with breach of peace and had a bond set at $1,000.
