Legendary country music performer Bill Anderson has canceled a number of appearances, including one at the Grand Ole Opry, after claiming that a strange accident caused a serious injury.
So far, the 87-year-old has canceled three performances.
According to Anderson’s website, there was a bizarre event when I tried to get into bed and twisted or tore some ligaments, muscles, or something in the back of my left leg. And I collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
My suffering was unbearable.
The decision to cancel the shows did not sit well with Anderson.
He wrote, “If you know me, you know how much it annoys me to break any commitment I have made.”
He stated that he feels as though he is getting better, which is fantastic news.
He wrote, “Thank you for your concern, but I’m here to let you know I’m fine.” I’m feeling considerably better today thanks to a lot of ice packs and painkillers, and perhaps this will all be over soon.
We appreciate your prayers and thoughts, and above all, your concern.
According to Taste of Country, Whisperin Bill, who got his nickname due to his quiet manner, has been popular in mainstream country music since the 1950s.
His 64-year tenure makes him the Opry’s longest-serving member. He was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on July 15, 1961.
