It's not shaping up to be the most wonderful time of the year for Eddie Montgomery. Just a couple of weeks ago the Montgomery Gentry singer revealed that he's been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now his publicist has confirmed that his wife of more than two decades, Tracy, has filed for divorce.
According to publicist Kirt Webster, Tracy called Eddie Tuesday night and asked what he was doing. As it happened, he was having dinner at his steakhouse in Kentucky with the couple's 23-year-old daughter Brooke. Shortly after the call, a process server presented him with divorce papers right there at the table in front of his daughter.
The musician posted the news on Twitter and Facebook early Wednesday, December 1. "U find out u got cancer then u found out ur wife can't handle that so she files for a divorce ... merry christmas," Eddie wrote. "She says she's a Christian wow ... I think I need to get her a bracelet 'what would Jesus do' 'cause I hope he [is] still here with me." The post has since been taken down.
Eddie Montgomery is unavailable for comment and there are no further details of the split forthcoming at this time, his publicist says. The singer will undergo surgery later this month and is slated to return to the concert stage in February.
