Tim McGraw's Exciting Tour Closer

Tim McGraw underwent an emergency appendectomy December 14. The surgery took place early in the morning at Baptist Hospital in Nashville. McGraw will be recovering at home through the holidays, according to a Curb Records spokesman.

The popular performer expects to be fully recovered for the American Music Awards in January where he is nominated as best country male artist.

McGraw and wife Faith Hill just wrapped their Soul II Soul tour December 12 in Orlando, Fla. The incredibly successful road trip is the top grossing country tour of 2000, earning more than $40 million. Close to a million fans saw the couple on the tour, which kicked off in July.
