Welcome to The List,
How much tragedy can one family take? Martin Short’s daughter Katherine has died at just 42 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. She was one of three children Martin adopted with his late wife Nancy Dolman, who passed away in 2010. His rep says the family is devastated and asking for privacy. Martin has postponed his upcoming show with Steve Martin in Milwaukee.

Apparently, Prince Andrew wants a support group with Prince Harry called “Spare Parts Anonymous,” but Meghan Markle is NOT approving the membership. Insiders say Andrew feels bonded with Harry over being mistreated by the Royal Family, but Meghan is disgusted by him and wants nothing to do with it.

Boot scoot alert, Brooks & Dunn are extending their Neon Moon Tour with 14 brand new headlining shows this fall. This comes after sharing stadium stages with Morgan Wallen and major festivals like Stagecoach. The tour kicks off September 10th and wraps October 9th, with the closest stop to us in Moline, Illinois. Presale starts today, and yes, the code is BOOTSCOOTIN, which might be the most Brooks & Dunn thing ever.

Carson Daly just took a playful flamethrower to Blake Shelton’s ego at a Voice event in New York. Talking about Blake winning People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2017, Carson said Gwen Stefani must’ve been the only one voting. For the record, Adam Levine and John Legend have won it too, so apparently Voice coaches come with built-in abs…

The January Minuteman Printing & Graphics Pack the Backpack winner, is Skyler Stevenson – 9-12 Grade Agriculture Teacher @ East Marshall High School. She was nominated by Lonika Utterback, and here is what they wrote to Kix 101.1:
Ms. Steveson joined EMHS mid-year. She jumped right in and has been positive throughout her transition to a new school. She has been learning all of the student's names and the routines of the school. She has had to sort through a new classroom and curriculum. She had to make new lesson plans for 6 different agriculture classes all while being the FFA advisor as well. The students and staff have appreciated her greatly and are so thankful for her to have accepted this role. We would like to support her and help her adapt to EMHS as best we can!
On the last Wednesday of the month during the school year, we award $101 to a Kix Country classroom to help out with supplies. Nominate a Kix Country teacher today at Kixweb.com.
Welcome to The List,
Megan Moroney just proved she’s either the nicest person in country music… or she has zero bedtime. She told fans at her Meet Me on Cloud 9 pop-up show she’d sign something for every single person there. And she actually did it. CDs, vinyl, whatever you had, Megan stayed until the job was done. Meanwhile, if one person asks me for directions at Target, I fake a phone call and walk away.

Jelly Roll just announced his brand new tour and the name alone deserves a standing ovation. It’s called the ‘Little Ass Shed Tour’. Yes, that’s real. He just finished the Big Ass Stadium Tour with Post Malone, so now he’s downsizing… slightly. These “sheds” still pack in 10 to 15 thousand fans a night. So congrats Jelly, you’re officially too big for arenas, but still emotionally attached to lawn seating.

Travis Kelce might be taking a pay cut if he plays another NFL season. He made 17 million last year, but reports say next year could be closer to 13 million. Which means he may have to tighten the budget a little. Maybe fewer vacations, fewer commercials, and only one diamond-covered cereal commercial instead of two. Thoughts and prayers during this difficult financial hardship.

Tom Hanks is officially playing Abraham Lincoln in a new movie, and apparently it’s personal. Ancestry.com says Hanks is actually Lincoln’s 16th cousin. The movie will mix live action and stop motion animation, which sounds like Lincoln meets Toy Story. If Tom Hanks shows up in a top hat and says “There’s a snake in my boot,” I’m buying tickets.
