Phil said:

“Not when I feel like this. That’s the thing. If it was a struggle… It’s not for me. I work out every day. I’m a vegan. I haven’t drunk for 36 years. So all of those things really help. And you look at, like, Mick Jagger, he has a physio, he has a treadmill in his room.”

Collen further elaborated on the band’s dedication to their craft, emphasizing their vocal warmups and their genuine live performances. They continually practice, train, and strive to improve their skills. As long as they can sustain this level of commitment and continue to progress, Collen expressed enthusiasm for continuing their touring journey.

 

”And we have our trainer out with us. We have our chef out with us. So if you keep doing that and you’re serious about it… We do vocal warmups. We really sing (live); it’s actually us really doing it.

”But we actually practice and we train and do this stuff all the time. So as long as we can do all of that and still get better, then, yeah, great.”

From the tender ache that echoed Patsy Cline, to the blazing strength reminiscent of Reba, and finally a soul-rattling rendition of Martina McBride’s “A Broken Wing,” Carrie wasn’t performing — she was channeling something sacred.

“SHE SAID IT WOULD HURT TO SING THIS — AND IT DID.” Reba McEntire stepped onto the Grammy stage and admitted softly that this would be a hard song to sing. You could see it in the way she held the mic. The lights felt dimmer. The air heavier. She wasn’t alone. Brandy Clark stood beside her, the one who reshaped the lyrics. Lukas Nelson waited in quiet respect. Behind them, faces and names appeared, one after another. Reba didn’t push her voice. She let it breathe. Honest. Bare. When the final note faded, no one rushed to clap. The silence said more than applause ever could. It felt less like a tribute… and more like standing inside a shared memory that still hasn’t finished speaking.

LAST NIGHT AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY… something bigger than a concert happened. Carrie Underwood didn’t just sing—she brought ghosts to life. From the soft ache of Patsy Cline’s voice to the fiery power of Reba’s, and finally a soul-shaking version of Martina McBride’s “A Broken Wing,” Carrie didn’t perform—she channeled. The room was still. People wiped their eyes. Grown men cried. Even the legends watching from backstage couldn’t hold it together. And when Carrie hit that final note, her own tears started to fall. It felt like the stage became hallowed ground. Like the women who came before her were right there, standing with her, lifting her up. Nobody left that night the same…

There are concerts you attend for the songs, and there are nights you remember because something unspoken passes…
