Bob Seger made a surprise appearance in Nashville on Sunday, performing as part of Patty Loveless’ induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Seger, playing live for the first time since 2019, covered the 1996 Loveless track “She Drew a Broken Heart.” The 78-year-old Michigan rocker’s appearance drew a standing ovation from the crowd, according to a report from the Tennessean.
Seger and Loveless, 66, previously teamed up on “The Answer’s in the Question,” a track from Seger’s 2006 album “Face the Promise.”
Loveless was inducted into the Hall by Vince Gill, who also performed a track of Loveless’ during the ceremony. Also performing in her honor was bluegrass foursome Sister Sadie.
Tanya Tucker and songwriter Bob McDill, who has penned 30 No. 1 country hits (including Ronnie Milsap’s “Nobody Likes Sad Songs” and Alan Jackson’s “Gone Country”), were also inducted during the ceremony, which was held at Nashville’s CMA Theater.
Seger’s last live performance was in November 2019 at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center, the closing date of his Roll Me Away: The Final Tour outing. That tour included six shows at the then-DTE Energy Music Theatre in June 2019.
