Kenny Chesney "Heaven" single

This August, Country Music star Kenny Chesney wants to go to to heaven, and he wants everyone else to come along too.  The three-time Entertainer of the Year is releasing his brand new song, "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven," on August 10. 

Chesney describes the new single as "…one of those songs that says I'm not only not ready, I've got a little but more fun to have. It's certainly the way me and the people around me try to live, to pack as much as we can into every day… and it's the way I think our fans are living. You can tell when you get out in the parking lot, these are people who have come to have fun, to make a few memories with their friends… and I think that's a great way to live."

The calypso-style tune is his first new release in over a year, and is the lead single of Chesney's forthcoming album still being recorded, one that Kenny describes as “more personal than anything I've done yet.”

“I have been lucky to write with some of the best songwriters in the world… to play with some of the best musicians there are… to share stages with legends and friends,” Chesney says. “Sometimes if you take a moment, just pause and consider where you are, you want to capture that moment, to bring people inside. We're figuring out the best way to do that, because this is some of the very best music I've ever made.”

Another heavenly-good Chesney piece of news: His XM Radio station "No Shoes Radio" goes live tomorrow, July 26 on XM Channel 18. The station will kick off with a live broadcast from the parking lot of Chensey's sold-out Boston Gillette Stadium Show.
