    “This Is About Her Son”: Vince Gill Pays Heartfelt Tribute to His 100-Year-Old Mother at Opry 100

    The 100th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry was filled with incredible performances, but none moved the audience like Vince Gill’s emotionally charged performance of “Go Rest High on That Mountain.” On March 19, 2025, during the special televised centennial celebration, Gill delivered a moment that will be etched in the hearts of fans and fellow artists alike.

    “This is about her son…”

    Before striking the first chord, Vince paused, his voice heavy with emotion. He addressed the audience, saying:

    “Think about someone you’ve lost. This one’s for my mother — she turns 100 this year. This is about her son.”

    With those simple words, he set the stage for a deeply personal, heartfelt tribute. As the music began, the room fell into a reverent silence, filled with the weight of the moment.

    A Song Rooted in Grief and Love

    “Go Rest High on That Mountain” has long been one of country music’s most cherished anthems of remembrance and loss. Vince started writing the song after the death of his friend Keith Whitley in 1989 but completed it after losing his own brother, Bob Gill, in 1993.

    The lyrics, already full of grace and sorrow, took on even more profound meaning in this performance, sung for his mother, who had endured the unimaginable: the loss of her own son.

    🎶 A Trio That Moved the Nation

    Vince was joined on stage by fellow Opry legends Ricky Skaggs and Sonya Isaacs, whose harmonies elevated the song to a sacred level. Their voices intertwined beautifully, adding even more emotion to every verse. The performance also served as the soundtrack to the Opry’s “In Memoriam” segment, honoring past members who had passed away, making the moment even more poignant.

    The audience sat in hushed silence, visibly moved. By the time the final note resonated, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

    More Than Music — A Legacy of Heart

    Vince Gill’s bond with the Opry goes far beyond music. Since his debut in 1989 and formal induction in 1991, he has graced its stage countless times, mentoring others, supporting emerging artists, and carrying the Opry’s spirit with humility and love.

    In fact, when he was first invited to perform at the Opry, Gill turned it down to honor a promise he had made to play guitar at his daughter Jenny’s elementary school talent show. That seemingly small act speaks volumes about who Vince Gill truly is: a man of integrity, family, and unwavering devotion.

    A Defining Moment in Opry History

    At Opry 100, Vince Gill gave more than just a performance — he gave a piece of his heart. His tribute to his mother and late brother reminded everyone why country music holds such significance: it tells our stories, acknowledges our pain, and brings us together in the moments that matter most.
