Kenny Chesney (born March 26, 1968 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is a popular country music singer and songwriter, known for such works as No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems and When the Sun Goes Down. Chesney is known for his laid back style of country music.

His first major hit was “Fall in Love,” which reached the Country Top 10 in 1995. The follow-up, “All I Need to Know,” also reached the Top 10, but follow-ups were not so successfull.

However, in 1996, he scored the top 5 hit, “Me and You,” and returned again with “When I Close My Eyes” in early 1997. He hit No. 1 for the first time with “She’s Got It All” in August 1997; the song spent three weeks atop Billboard magazine’s country singles chart.

Other No. 1 hits included “How Forever Feels” (No. 1 for six weeks in 1999); “The Good Stuff” (No. 1 in 2002); “There Goes My Life” (No. 1 in early 2004); and “When the Sun Goes Down” (a duet with Uncle Kracker in 2004). Notable No. 2s include “That’s Why I’m Here” (1998), “Young” (2002), “Big Star” (2003), “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem” (2003) and “The Woman With You” (2004).

While some of Chesney’s music shows the obvious influence of John Mellencamp and Jimmy Buffett (a point critics are quick to note), he often performs several traditional country songs at his shows (particularly, music from George Jones). He won the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year honor in 2004.

In January 2005, Chesney released the album “Be As You Are: Songs from an Old Blue Chair,” supporting the album with his “Somewhere Under the Sun” tour.

On May 9, 2005, Chesney married Renée Zellweger on the resort island St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The pair met in January 2005 at a tsunami relief benefit. Chesney had previously commented that Zellweger was his favorite actress, and he had written a song, “You Had Me from Hello”, based on her line from Jerry Maguire. On September 15, 2005, after only four months of marriage, they announced their plans for an annulment. Zellweger cited “fraud” as the reason in the related legal papers. [1] Fueled by numerous internet reports, some have speculated that Zellweger discovered Chesney was actually homosexual. Chesney has neither confirmed nor denied these reports.

KENNY CHESNEY • Country Singer / Songwriter

After a decade of building an audience with country hits such as “You Had Me From Hello” and “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy,” Kenny Chesney broke through in 2002 with the Nashville-to-Caribbean sound of his album No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem. Chesney grew up in Luttrell, Tennessee and in the early 1990s made his way to Nashville, where he found work as a songwriter-for-hire. He released his first major-label album, All I Need to Know, in 1995 and had steady success with the followups Me and You (1996), I Will Stand (1997) and Everywhere We Go (1999). His No Shoes album soared to the top of the charts on the strength of the title track and the hit songs “The Good Stuff” and “Young,” and soon enough Chesney was a star on Country Music Television as well as radio. In 2004 he released When The Sun Goes Down and had another hit with “There Goes My Life.”

Extra credit: In 2000 Chesney made headlines—and got a shot of free publicity—when he grabbed a policeman’s horse at a New York fair and rode off, a prank which was amplified in the press due to the involvement of country star Tim McGraw. Chesney said he had the policeman’s permission and was later acquitted of disorderly conduct…

pretty funny how there is so much information readily available about stars… all i can say is “thank you” and better you than me..
