The duo last performed on the Opry on July 1, 2017, with the clip capturing them singing their hit “Where I Come From.”
Gentry strummed his guitar as he shared the song’s vocals with bandmate Eddie Montgomery, getting the crowd involved for a rousing performance.
Montgomery Gentry was inducted into the Opry in 2009.
On Saturday, the Opry used Twitter to share a video compilation of Gentry’s best moments on the famed stage.
“Forever a part of our [Opry] Family,” the tweet read. “Troy Gentry, thank you for the memories and the music. Our stage will never be the same.”
