Pat’s fame changed with the times.

Some of the things that make Pat happy and give him a sense of purpose are golf, family events, and giving back to causes that are important to him. He surprised his fans in 2023 with a new song called “Grits,” which was a fun ode to the Southern food.
Pat is now 90 years old, but he still loves music and performed at Roger Williams’s 100th birthday concert. His fans still respect how strong and inspiring he is, which shows how love and faith have shaped his life.
Over the course of his life, Pat Boone has shown that age doesn’t matter and that love, family, and music can heal. His influence continues to inspire new generations, which shows how much his life and work have changed the world.
