In a statement on his website posted Wednesday, Crowell said a team of doctors has advised him to rest and that for the foreseeable future, “my work will consist of quietly encouraging my body to return to its natural state.”

Crowell, 67, was slated to perform at the Americana Honors and Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sept. 13, where he also won an award for song of the year, but he did not attend.

The Texas-born artist rose to prominence with his 1998 album Diamonds and Dirt, which yielded five No. 1 country songs including the Grammy-winning, “After All This Time.”
