Tanya Tucker Hospitalized in Texas After Fall

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tanya Tucker after the singer was hospitalized after a falling while on tour.

According to Billboard, the “Delta Dawn” singer fractured a vertebra and injured a rib during the incident. Her publicist added that she had also been diagnosed with bronchitis while in the Texas hospital. She is currently receiving breathing treatments and physical therapy and will not need surgery.

“We’ve been having a blast with the band and fans on the road and I’m so mad this happened,” Tucker said in a statement. “I was really looking forward to seeing all the Okies and fans in Kansas this week, but we have to postpone the shows. I’ll do my very best to make it up for y’all. Let’s hope for no more accidents this year and I look forward to a great 2017.”

Tucker was forced to postpone her Feb. 23 show at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, as well as upcoming shows at the Emporia Granada Theater in Emporia, Kansas, and at the Choctaw Event Center in Grant, Oklahoma. The Texas native postponed six shows in October 2016 when she was hospitalized for another upper respiratory infection.

“I cannot apologize enough to all the fans who bought tickets and were looking forward to seeing us on the road. I just feel terrible, but I’ll get even worse if I don’t take care of myself. I love you all,” said Tucker at the time.

She is also currently on the bill for the event, 1 Night. 1 Place. 1 Time.: A Heroes and Friends Tribute to Randy Travis, a tribute concert for the legendary Randy Travis, which is slated to take place in Nashville on Feb. 8. No word on if Tucker will still appear at that show.
