George Jones Breaks Foot
Country icon George Jones broke his right foot April 18. Jones was dining at a fast food restaurant when he “lost his footing and twisted his ankle,” according to his official Web site.
Jones, who didn’t initially realize the extent of the damage, went home for a few hours when the pain and swelling became too much. He decided to have his foot checked out and doctors determined that it had been broken.
As a result, Jones will have to stay off his feet for a bit and then wear a foam boot brace for six weeks.
But all that hasn’t stopped Jones from continuing with his tour. Shows originally scheduled for April 19 and 20 were moved to May 4 and 12, respectively. Tickets will be honored for the rescheduled dates.
Jones’ next shows begin April 26 in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Along with a cowboy boot for his left foot, Jones will be sporting his new foam boot on the right side, making quite the country couture fashion statement.
