The 54th Annual CMA Awards - Show

Reba McEntire took to social media Saturday to remember the heartbreaking tragedy that befell her band 33 years ago.

Seven of the country music legend’s band and a tour manager were killed in a plane crash following a private show in San Diego on March 16, 1991.

McEntire shared a photo on X, formerly Twitter, that read, “In Memory,” with the band members names — Chris Austin, Kirk Cappello, Joey Cigainero, Paula Kaye Evans, Jim Hammon, Terry Jackson, Tony Saputo and Michael Thomas.

It also had, “I guess the world ain’t gonna stop … for my broken heart,” at the bottom.

“33 years today since Heaven gained some great angels,” she wrote. “Rest in peace, my friends.”

Per Taste of Country, two planes awaited to take McEntire and her band from San Diego to their next show in Fort Wayne, Indiana back then. But McEntire and her husband at the time as well as a stylist decided to stay behind in San Diego for the night.

The plane carrying the band crashed just 10 miles away from the airport, the site said. It also reported that fellow country legends Vince Gill and Dolly Parton offered McEntire their bands so she could finish her tour but she opted to not finish.

She did dedicated her following album, “For My Broken Heart,” to those who had died, the stie said

While newer country music fans may not know of the tragic crash, McEntire fans are well aware of the tragedy, and several of them responded to her post on X.

“I remember this so clearly,” one person wrote. “We he just recently seen you and the band in Lubbock, (Texas) when this happened. What a tragedy. May they rest in peace.”
