Mindy McCready

Mindy McCready was once on a reality show that highlighted the struggles of celebrities who dealt with addiction.  It was called 'Celebrity Rehab' and unfortunately the success rate of that show hasn't been so great.  With Mindy's death, the total number of cast members who have died after being on that show is up to five.

Many country stars took to Twitter after hearing the news about Mindy McCready's passing.

One day before Mindy McCready was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, the singer sent a private investigator she had been working with a cryptic message. It was a single frame from a video they had been working on together of McCready singing a song called 'I'll See You Yesterday.'

The tumultuous life of singer Mindy McCready came to a tragic end Sunday evening when she died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head in her Heber Springs, Arkansas home.

On Wednesday Mindy McCready made the news again.  Unfortunately it wasn't for a new record or for doing anything good for that matter.  She was accused of kidnapping her own 5 year old child.  But even that news is already being shadowed by the bomb that she dropped shortly after that hit headlines.

March 25 -- Ok...I did it yesterday so here we go.  We're 9 months away from Christmas!  That makes some people feel better.  Others feel more stressed.  Today in country music history, some huge country hits go to #1 on the charts, others are recorded, and a country legend passes away...
