It is an immense shock to me, having been with her mom, Priscilla, in Memphis this year at the 45th anniversary of Elvis' death, and then just a couple of weeks ago with Lisa Marie at a special screening in Hollywood of the Elvis film where we talked briefly.
Hello! To this day I still love recording and being with friends at my concerts. I'm being asked to consider a few select concerts this fall (at 89!) in conjunction with the Sep 8 release of my new "Country Jubilee" album. I'd sure like to know where you'd like me to come visit.
Today we remember and honor all those men and women who have sacrificed everything for our country. Because of you, we get to enjoy our freedoms each day in this wonderful country. May we always remember them and salute them!
Dear friends...I just got word that today my friend, Harry Belafonte, has passed. I love the man and I will miss him until maybe hopefully we'll be reunited. -Pat

What do you do the morning after a 2-hour concert - what may possibly become known as your ‘last’ - and you’re a few weeks out from your 90th birthday? … hop on a private jet and head to Branson, MO, to begin pre-promotion on a project I’ve been working on for a while.
What a great time we had! Thank you
@adamcarolla
for having me on your show to talk about everything from growing up in Nashville in the ‘50s, to Elvis, my music and career, and the golden rule!

56 years ago today, my friend Engelbert Humperdinck's song "Release Me" began a six-week reign atop the UK charts. Here's a picture of the two of us together more recently backstage at one of his shows, along with another admirer of his, the one and only Gene Simmons!
"RICHARD and I are brothers, musically and spiritually. I had million-selling records of his early R&B hits which weren’t known on Pop radio..and he credited me with helping him cross over to the larger market—but way more than that, we knew we were...
Another soldier has come home.
Wounded but proudly bearing the scars and crippling of his victorious battles. For his whole life, my brother Nick (named at birth Cecil Altman Boone, but our parents thought "Pat and Nick" sounded good for their two sons) served his Commander.
You will forever be the love of my life, and my forever "April Love"! Happy Birthday, Shirley! I sure miss you, and I look forward to the day that we can spend another one of your birthdays together. I love you!

After Pat dislocated his jaw while riding his bike, his buddy Frank Sinatra sent him a catcher’s mask with a letter suggesting he wear it next time he went out cycling. Pat still keeps the mask in his office to this day!
(1/2) Jerry Lee and I were two Southern kids who hit it big at the same time and followed each other’s careers closely. In fact, when Dick Clark went national with his “American Bandstand," he picked Jerry Lee and me as his first guests.
Whenever I’m singing "You and I," I reflect on the 65 years that I spent with my beloved wife, Shirley. We’re still married, so it’s actually 69 years. She's changed her address, that's all, and moved to a different mansion that I expect to join her in one day.
The Boone family is grateful for the kind words upon Shirley Boone's passing. Her Los Angeles memorial is Feb. 16th at 11AM at Church on the Way in Van Nuys and her Nashville memorial is Feb. 21st at 2PM on the campus of David Lipscomb University in the Collins Auditorium.
We’re so close to Thanksgiving, one of my favorite days of the year. I hope and pray you can get as much joy spending time with your loved ones as I do.
Hello, friends! I have just released my recording of “Chattanoogie Shoeshine Boy”, a tribute to my father-in-law, Daddy Red (Foley), and the second single from my upcoming album “Country Jubilee". Click the link in my bio and listen for FREE on my Spotify KALEIDOSCOPE playlist!
ASK PAT is going on a break until the new year, so Pat can get some much-needed rest in Hawaii. Feel free to ask more questions on this post and he’ll get to them as soon as we return. Many thanks, and Happy New Year!
It's Friday, and I've got another song from “The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom” for you! "Autumn Leaves" has been digitally remastered, and is now available on all streaming services.
ON THIS DAY IN MUSIC...May 14, 1998, 82-year-old “Blue Eyes” Frank Sinatra died. “The Chairman of the Board” met with “The Chairman of the Board” and accepted a singing gig up yonder. I recorded a show last Friday for the "Siriusly Sinatra" Channel 70 on SiriusXM. Stay tuned!
I just got back from the trip of the lifetime, a cruise through Turkey visiting so many Biblical sites. Over the coming weeks I’ll be sharing photos and videos of my adventures. Here’s a sunny one with Peter Williams, a brilliant expert on the Tyndale Bible.
My Valentine forever and always! I'm thinking about "You and I" a little extra today, Shirley and I'm reminded of all of our Valentine's Days together. I love you!
"Ain’t That A Shame," my first

record, has been digitally remastered, and is now available on all streaming services.

Loretta Lynn is an American institution, a beautiful example of rising from poor circumstances on sheer pluck and talent to become one of the first ladies of country music - and she'll never be forgotten.
Cruising into my nineties in style! Who else is ready to celebrate? Join in on the festivities by purchasing your own birthday t-shirt so you can celebrate with me wherever you are. Just click on the Products and Merch link in my bio!
So happy to celebrate my 70th year in show business alongside my first-ever TV sponsor, Chevy Corvette, and with my upcoming album, "Country Jubilee.” Thank you to
@vettevues
for sharing this and highlighting some fun memories in my career. Read the story at the link in my bio!
Baz Luhrmann's film "Elvis" opens today! I wonder if I'm in it? Joking a little, but I'm sure excited to see it! I know you've all probably seen this picture before, but it still astounds me, as it was taken during the last time I saw my friend Elvis just months before his death.
Let's make believe that it's a Thursday night and you're tuning into “The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom"...There was no telling who we'd have on the show! I hope you enjoy getting to listen to more of my "Duets" album, and I can't wait to share even more from the Chevy Show with you.
I've always felt called to a life of prayer and following the Lord! Today is
#NationalDayOfPrayer
, and this year revolves around a quote from Samuel, "Lift up the Word, light up the world." What a way to look at scripture!
Dive further into the Word and your own prayer life!
I feel a song coming on! In just one short week, you can begin enjoying all the individual song performances from “The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom.” These timeless audio performances have been digitally remastered, and will be available very soon on all the streaming services!
Happy Memorial Day, everyone. I hope you take a moment to remember all the men and women who have sacrificed so much for us to live the lives we lead in this great country.
Oh my! I feel so blessed to continue to have your support after all of these years. The classic tune, "April Love," just reached a whopping ten MILLION streams on Spotify, and I want to say a big thank you to every one of you who have taken a listen!
A swing that is 50+ years in the making! I may not be the best at golf, but I sure do love it. That warm weather is creeping up on us, and I'm so thrilled about it!
Early this morning, Nick slipped peacefully and quietly into Heaven, where I'm sure he's been met with a crown and the loving arms of the Savior he served so well.
I look forward to the blessed day when I'll be united with Nick and Shirley, who preceded us both. HALLELUJAH.
Watch me join

51 years ago this month, Ozzy Osbourne began touring the US for the first time. I had the honor of being his neighbor for a number of years -- believe it or not, he and Sharon were wonderful, considerate neighbors. (PHOTO: Me and Ozzy on a photoshoot in his backyard.)
On this day 66 years ago, Elvis began shooting his first movie. At the time they were going to call it "Reno Brothers," but it ended up getting released as "Love Me Tender," which is probably what you know it by!
On this day in 1957, “Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On” by my friend Jerry Lee Lewis hit its peak on the US charts at number three. Here we are with another great friend of mine, Dick Clark!
We’re getting close to our big night on Saturday at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano! Rehearsing has me so excited to share the stage with my lovely daughter Lindy Boone.
You can get your tickets now on my website. You won't want to miss out on this special night of music!
The Boone family is grateful for the kind words upon Shirley Boone's passing. Her Los Angeles memorial is Feb. 16th at 11AM at Church on the Way in Van Nuys and her Nashville memorial is Feb. 21st at 2PM on the campus of David Lipscomb University in the Collins Auditorium.
I tear up every time I watch the music video for "Wordlayer" because of my love and pride for Lindy and each of my daughters, and Lindy's musical ability and storytelling. Shirley used to teach the girls their harmonies when we were touring as The Boone Family in the '70s.
It's Friday, and I've got another song from “The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom” for you! "Love Letters in the Sand" has been digitally remastered, and is now available on all streaming services.
Check back every Friday so you don't miss a single one.
Got together again today with my screen partner from our 'steamy' 1962 movie, "State Fair." Stay tuned for air times of our taped conversation!

Now that Thanksgiving’s through for the year, it’s officially okay to listen to Christmas music all the time and no one can get mad at you? Here's the picture from Pat’s 1978 family Christmas card!
Here I am with a fan showing off an issue of LIFE Magazine I happened to be on the cover of at Town Square Records & Comics in Gallatin, Tennessee earlier this month!
(1/3) It’s time for more ASK PAT!
Donna on Facebook asks: “I’d like to know why you have not been voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and what we can do, as supporters, to rectify this most horrible oversight!”
I have some exciting news this morning! Thanks to our friends over at
@TasteOfCountry
the official music video for "You and I" featuring
@TheCrystalGayle
is premiering today!
Head to the link in my bio to watch the full video and let me know what you think. Hope you all enjoy!
As an entertainer with four singing daughters myself, I empathize deeply with the struggle of a famous person's child to emulate the life of his or her parents. I'd like to think that she had so many good reasons to live.
Welcome back to ASK PAT!
Many of you have asked what Pat is driving these days.
“Still in the Rolls. Can’t get enough of it. I own a few other cars, but it usually does the trick!”
Stay tuned every Wednesday for more ASK PAT, and keep asking questions on all these posts!
Nothing is more valuable than getting to spend time with my four beautiful daughters - Cherry, Debby, Lindy, and Laury. We've been in the studio working on something very special & close to our hearts. I look forward to telling you more and sharing this project very soon!
Hello, Friends. Oh, I remember this like it was just yesterday, but it's actually a photo from our very last episode of “The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom!” Starting Friday, I will be releasing individual performances from each episode on every streaming service.
Hi friends! I'm all smiles every time I get to perform because I am so blessed to be able to continue doing what I love and make music for all of you.
I hope you have a fun and happy April Fool's Day! Remember that laughter is one of the best ways to keep yourself young!
Ahoy there! I'm ready to set sail this October for a magnificent tour and cruise that retraces the footsteps of the apostle Paul. We'll travel from Rome through the Greek Isles sightseeing, studying the Bible together, and singing hymns on board the ship!
I’m on the high seas now, sailing on the Disney Dream for the TCM Classic Cruise. I’ll have pictures for you all soon, but for now here’s one from the cruise I took back in July throughout Turkey. If you’re wondering why I’m not in the picture, it’s because I took it!
Did you know…
Pat was so busy in 1962, he never had the opportunity to watch the final version of his film “State Fair.” He was able to rectify that on the TCM Classic Cruise, with a full theater to boot! “It passes the smell test, for certain. It’s delightful,” he said.
Hello friends! This photo from my red carpet moment was just too good not to share. I had so much fun at FOX Nation's Patriot Awards while I was back in Nashville. Hope to continue traveling and meeting as many of you as possible in 2024!
