@ukcountrynews: 🖤 Remembering Brett James (1968–2025) edit: It’s now reported that his wife and stepdaughter were the two other passengers in the plane with him, sadly all three lost their lives. 🥲 One of Nashville’s most gifted storytellers, Brett’s songs touched millions and helped define an era of country music. From heartfelt ballads to arena anthems, his words and melodies carried the spirit of a generation. Beyond the hits, he was a friend, mentor, and collaborator whose legacy will continue to shape the music we love. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the countless artists whose lives and careers he changed. #brettjames #countrymusic #nashville #ukcountrynews
