I'm sad to say I will be going the rest of my life without seeing George Strait in concert! I've seen video, pictures but will never get to see the 'The King' live, and it was on my bucket list.

So while I was crying my eyes out and eating ice cream because I was thinking about it, I was surfing the web and found some interesting George Strait facts from our friends at Taste of Country.

1. George Strait Served In The U.S. Army

2. In his first movie roll, George Strait played a terrorist in the movie 'The Soldier'

3. Strait and his brothers were raised by his father after his mother left them at a young age

4. Some of his best songs never reached No. 1 on the charts

5. Strait is not a member of the 'Grand Ole Opry'
