George Jones Back In The Hospital
An announcement on the 80-year-old singer/songwriter’s website says the Country Music Hall of Fame member was admitted into a Nashville area hospital. He is undergoing testing and evaluation for a lingering upper respiratory infection that has been pestering Jones for nearly two months.
The statement notes that show scheduled through June “will be rescheduled, where possible. No more details are available at this time.”
