Reinstate Hank Now!


Sign the petition to reinstate Hank Williams into the Grand Ole Opry.

He was the first Grand Ole Opry artist to be called back for six encores. In 1952 Hank was booted out of the Grand Ole Opry for being too drunk to perform. Hank made a promise to sober up and make amends so he could make his return to the Opry, but his life was tragically cut short and he never had the chance to make things right.

Click here to go to the website to sign the petition. And, click here to access a Rolling Stone article where, Hank's grandson, Shelton (aka Hank III) makes the case to reinstate Hank Williams into the Grand Ole Opry.
