Last Friday, the country music world was shocked when we learned of the death of Troy Gentry who is one half of the hit country music duo Montgomery Gentry.

The Duo was scheduled to play a show in New Jersey last Friday night when Troy Gentry took a spur of the moment helicopter ride from the airport near the venue they were suppose to play at in concert.

The helicopter Gentry was riding in had engine trouble which could be the cause that led to the crash and Gentry's death.
