Due to a scheduling conflict, Luke Combs will no longer be part of this year’s induction class.
Luke Combs: “My apologies everyone, with our stadium event for hurricane relief happening in Charlotte this weekend my schedule has changed. I won’t be attending the Walk of Fame ceremony later this month. Stay tuned for a later date. I want to send a huge congratulations to the other inductees, the late Jimmy Buffett and his family, The Fairfield Four, my friend Bill Cody and my partner Colin Reed, on their well-deserved recognition.”
Members of the public are invited to view the ceremony. Reed and Cody are being honored in tribute to the Grand Old Opry celebrating its 100th anniversary next year. Jimmy Buffett passed away on September 1, 2023, and will be inducted posthumously.
