Since his wife’s death, Hank Jr.’s social media accounts stayed silent…until March 29.
He wrote, “Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers during this time. The family has encouraged me to perform this weekend. Not only is it healing but I do not want to disappoint my fans who have purchased tickets.”
Hank Jr. was scheduled to play at Landers Center in Southhaven, Mississippi on Friday, April 1. Like he said he would, Hank Jr. performed for a packed house at the Landers Center, with the help of some very special guests – his children.
In the middle of his set, his middle daughter, Holly, and his youngest son, Sam, joined him on stage for a rowdy performance of “Family Tradition.”
Sam posted a couple photos from the night writing, “I’ve had too many highs and too many lows.”
Hank Jr. played an awesome guitar intro, which neared a minute, before starting the opening lyrics. The crowd took over singing part of the song before Holly and Sam walked on stage with microphones. In the middle of the song, they began singing Hank Williams Sr’s “Hey Good Lookin’.”
The three of them looked like they were really enjoying themselves despite the tragedy they are going through. Watch the video of their performance of “Family Tradition” below.
