People's Choice Country Awards

The successful event is coming back for a second round to honor country music's biggest stars. 

The gritty rendition occurred five months before the country star's death at 62. 

The former Voice Coach and Barmaggedon Host made a very good point about the Social Country Star award, but was still humble and happy.

The inaugural awards show honors the best and brightest in country music. 

Blake Shelton, Dan + Shay, and Carly Pearce are among the few.
