Country Quickie: Sugarland Being Sued, Lionel Richie Talks Country & More!

It looks like Sugarland is facing a massive class action lawsuit stemming from the deadly stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair.  Stage designers and the stage workers union are being sued as well.  The suit has been filed on behalf of nearly 48 people connected to the incident.  Seven people died and over 40 were injured at the concert on August 13th of this year.

If you haven't heard yet, Lionel Richie is going country!  His new CD "Tuskegee" was originally supposed to be a solo project, but turned into an album of collaborations.  Richie will be singing many of his greatest hits with country stars such as Rascal Flatts, Shania Twain, Willie Nelson, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland & more!!!  The album arrives in stores in March!
