May 02, 2010
Chely Wright, one of country music's biggest and sexiest stars will be "coming out" later this week. Chely Wright will be making the big announcement about her sexual preference this week in People Magazine, TMZ reports.
Chely Wright has a book coming out this week titled, "Like Me." Her CD, "Lifted Off the Ground," will also be released this week.
Chely Wright is the first major country artist ever to come out. Not surprisingly, many country music fans are traditionally conservative, so we will see how this will affect her music sales and audience. According to TMZ, she has been romantically linked to a number of celebrities, including Brad Paisley.
Chely Wright was born in 1970 in Kansas City, Missouri. She released her debut album in 1994. Although she received an ACM award for Top New Female Vocalist that same year, none of her initial songs made a significant impact on the charts. In 1997, Chely had her first Top 40 country hit, "Shut Up and Drive". Two years later, she scored her first #1 single with "Single White Female". Overall, Wright has released seven studio albums on various labels, and has charted more than fifteen singles on the country charts. She has also written songs for Brad Paisley, Richard Marx, Mindy Smith and a top 10 hit for Clay Walker, I Can't Sleep. Chely will release her memoir, Like Me and a new album, Lifted Off The Ground, on May 4, 2010
