Country star Chely Wright is reportedly ready to come out of the closet, unveiling she is, in fact, gay in the upcoming May 5 (Cinco de Mayo) issue of People Magazine. Chely, who was romantically linked to Brad Paisley, also has a book titled “Like Me” and a new album, “Lifted Off The Ground” coming out.

Chely will be the first major country artist to publicly admit she is gay. The 39 year-old singer had a #1 hit, “Single White Female”, and won the Academy Of Country Music Award for ‘New Artist Of The Year’ back in 1999.
