The Grand Ole Opry joined Women Rock For The Cure in the fight against breast cancer tonight with its sixth annual “Opry Goes Pink” show. Multi-platinum selling Opry group Rascal Flatts flipped the switch on the Opry’s signature barn backdrop, turning it pink for the night as artists performed in support of breast cancer awareness.

Troy Gentry of Opry member duo Montgomery Gentry welcomed his wife Angie, who shared publicly last week that she is battling breast cancer, to the stage to a rousing ovation from the Opry audience. Gentry performed T. Graham Brown’s 1986 No. 1 hit “Hell And High Water” for his wife, and the two were joined on stage by Brown for the song’s last verse.
