Country music singer chokes up singing about family who died in Texas floods
Pat Green got emotional during Friday’s performance during a rendition of his 2003 song “Wave on Wave.”
He dedicated the performance to his late family members who lost their lives in the flood.
“I’m gonna do this song for my brother John, my sister-in-law Julia, my two nephews, and for all the other people who … you know,” he said, appearing to hold back tears as he briefly stepped away from the microphone, per Taste of Country.
The Lake Charles, La., concert took place just two days after Green’s benefit concert for Texas Hill Country floods victims.
“On Wednesday, our band and so many others … Miranda Lambert, Cody Canada, Casey Donahew — I mean, everybody,” he said. “We raised $1.3 million for those people.”
Green’s younger brother John Burgess died in the floods, along with his wife Julia Anderson Burgess and two of their children.
