Kenny Chesney's country music success was sparked by childhood moment that lit a 'fire' in his soul

Kenny Chesney revealed he never dreamed he'd be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The "Get Along" singer's official induction will occur in October.

"I promise you, I did not see this coming," he said at the public announcement, People magazine reported.

The singer-songwriter opened up about a childhood memory that changed his future. "I went with my mom and my stepfather to a field about 10 miles from my house to see this group, Alabama, that was going to play," he said. "I couldn’t believe they were going to play just right down the road from my house … Something happened to me that night. There was a fire lit. Something happened in my soul that set me on this path."
