JELLY ROLL REVEALS THE REASON HE MISSED THE “OPRY100” LIVE EVENT

Posted on March 27, 2025 by Bob Ballard

Jelly Roll takes great pride in his work ethic, and he comes by it honest. During a visit to “The Pivot” podcast, he explained that his grandfather instilled that in his entire family. “My uncle Beuford used to tell me this story. He called his father, which was my grandfather, one time, and he said, ‘I can’t come into work today, I’m sick.’ All my grandfather said was, ‘That’s good. Working sick builds character,’ and hung up the phone.” Jelly went on to say, “So I pride myself on sick shows, especially if I’m really sick.” So how is it that the singer missed the historic live broadcast of the Grand Ole Opry’s 100th anniversary celebration? Jelly explained, “I’ve canceled one show in the last five years because of an ailment, and it was the Grand Ole Opry 100. It just broke my heart, man. I just couldn’t break this fever, and I never had a fever that kept me down like that. I probably slept like 20 hours.”
