Randy Travis underwent heart surgery after being admitted to a Texas hospital in critical condition with complications from viral cardiomyopathy, according to his family.
The country singer’s sister-in-law says in a statement, “We have been told he has had surgery. Our prayers are going out to him because my husband just had a heart attack last year, so it is in their family.”
She continues, “Their mother passed away at an early age with her heart, so it is like these boys are following right in their footsteps. My prayers are with them. That’s all I can say right now.”
Viral cardiomyopathy is a weakening of the heart muscles due to infection.
Travis’ next scheduled concert, Wednesday’s show in South Dakota, has been canceled.
Gossip Cop wishes him a speedy and full recovery.
