VIDEO NEWS:
Dierks Bentley has just released a music video that continues the momentum of his new single “Gone”. The video was released through People and Entertainment Weekly. Off to a huge start at radio, the video finds Bentley hitting rock bottom as his own life plays out before him through iconic television scenes where each one is worse than the previous. “Gone” is available at all digital retailers at https://strm.to/DBGonePR. “It just always ends poorly for me in this video,” said Bentley. “I definitely had a lot more fun making it than it looks though…we got to film a bunch of scenes inspired by some of my favorite shows like The Office, MacGyver, Game Of Thrones and Full House. And I got to collaborate with some new directors I’ve never worked with, so I left at the end of a really long day feeling really happy and inspired about a kind of sad song.” Watch the video at https://umgn.us/DBGoneVideo. Bentley has amassed countless nominations from the ACMs, CMAs, Billboard Music Awards and more while also earning 14 GRAMMY nominations. He just recently celebrated his 15-year anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry. For more information visit www.dierks.com.
