Lynn suffered a stroke earlier this month on May 4th. She is expected to make a full recovery.
The singer’s website also has updated information regarding her current tour.
“Loretta, who just celebrated her 85th birthday, has been advised by her doctors to stay off the road while she is recuperating. Regrettably, upcoming scheduled shows will be postponed.”
Her 41st album entitled Wouldn’t It Be Great is still scheduled to be released on August 18 by Sony Legacy. It was produced by her daughter Patsy Lynn Russell and Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash’s son, John Carter Cash.
We wish Loretta a very speedy recovery.
