Country singer Luke Combs was officially inducted into the Grand Ole Opry by Vince Gill and Joe Diffie on Tuesday night.
The country music veterans were joined onstage by fellow Grand Ole Opry members The Gatlin Brothers, Chris Janson, Dustin Lynch, Craig Morgan, and Mark Wills during the induction. Darius Rucker submitted a congratulatory video.
Speaking at the occasion, Combs said, "Here I am on stage with people I grew up listening to and people who have shaped me as an artist."
"I just want to say thank you to you guys, thank you to the Grand Ole Opry, and thank you to the fans—without you all, there is no country music, there is no Grand Ole Opry," he added. "Thank you so much for everything you guys do for making this possible for guys like us on this stage."
