вЂњTook this on the flight home to Georgia this afternoon,вЂќ Swindell wrote.

The singer/songwriter shared the unfortunate news of his momвЂ™s passing on Instagram stories on Monday evening. SwindellвЂ™s mother Betty passed away on Monday, September 13. Watch the emotion-filled moment in the fan-captured video below. вЂњWow, that looks like Heaven,вЂќ Swindell said, referencing the sea of lights that sparkled throughout the capacity crowd as they participated in a massive sing-a-long. These people have had my back since day oneвЂ™ and I can promise you, My mama, she wouldnвЂ™t want me sitting at home, she would want me on stage in front of a crowd like this people who care, people who matter.вЂќДЄfter a touching speech to the crowd, Swindell requested that the sold-out audience light up their cell phones and вЂњsing to somebody youвЂ™re thinking about up there thatвЂ™s got a better seat than us tonight.вЂќ We had her service Wednesday and I flew out because Thomas Rhett said вЂhey man, take the weekend off, go to our beach house and just relaxвЂ™ and I said вЂthereвЂ™s no way IвЂ™m missing being up here, being in front of a crowd like this.

Thank you for all of the messages, thank you for the sign. The country hitmaker and Georgia native continued, вЂњon Monday I lost my Mom. They keep me going and I wouldnвЂ™t be here if it werenвЂ™t for yвЂ™all.вЂќ вЂњI wish yвЂ™all could see the chills on my arm right now, but I wrote it after losing my Dad yвЂ™all and your stories have inspired me. And I will always have a special connection with all of you in this whole area because I will never forget the day sitting in the parking lot at Gillette Stadium writing this song right here,вЂќ Swindell recalled. I think we all have someone we wish was here tonight. вЂњIвЂ™m not the only one whose ever lost someone I love. The track was co-written by Swindell alongside Ashley Gorley and is the lead single and title track to his second studio album (2016). SwindellвЂ™s heartfelt tribute came during his performance of вЂњYou Should Be Here,вЂќ a song he originally wrote when his father, William Keith Swindell, unexpectedly passed away while he was out on tour after signing his record deal. The country superstar honored his late mother, Betty Carol Rainey, during his performance on Thomas RhettвЂ™s Center Point Road Tour at The Xfinity Center in Boston, MA on Saturday, September 18. Cole Swindell paid homage to his late mother Betty with a chill-inducing performance of his chart-topping hit вЂњYou Should Be Here.вЂќ
