Josh Gracin Subs For Lonestar, Toby Keith’s 2007 Tour Dates, & Mark Wills Has Dinner With The President
- Lonestar’s lead singer Richie McDonald couldn’t make his show in Corpus Christi on Wednesday due to suffering complications in a recent back surgery. Josh Gracin stepped up and took Richie’s place on lead vocals for a crowd of an estimated 3,500.
“We had a couple of shows coming up and Josh was on the bill with us,” Lonestar’s Dean Sams said later, “and when we told him about our situation, he said, ‘Hey, I’ve been a Lonestar fan since I was a kid! I could fill in for Richie on the shows we have together.’ The first thing I said was, ‘That’d be great,’ and then I said, ‘OK, let’s not bring up that kid thing again.’”
