Eddie Montgomery Grateful For Those Who Have His Back

The past year has been an emotional roller coaster ride for Montgomery Gentry’s Eddie Montgomery. In November 2010, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, followed by his wife of 20 years serving him with divorce papers. The father of four put a brave face on while asking for family and friends’ thoughts and prayers. A month later, Montgomery was declared cancer free. Now, almost a year later, Montgomery is in a better place emotionally and has his many fans to thank for their love and support. “I want to thank everyone out there for the cards and letters and emails and prayers,” Montgomery tells Taste of Country. “It definitely works. We don’t call them fans, we call them friends. They’ve still got my back. I’m going through one hell of a divorce. I can’t wait to get that over with.” Montgomery Gentry will release their seventh studio album, “Rebels on the Run,” next week. The album’s lead single, ‘Where I Come From,’ is currently Top 40 and climbing.
