sick,” said Chris. “One minute I was fine then suddenly I’m being rushed
to the hospital,” he continued. “I look forward to being up and around
and back on the road.”

Chris Young’s new single, “Aw Naw” is quickly climbing the country
singles charts and is the first single from his forthcoming album, A.M., which will be released Sept. 17 on RCA Records Nashville.
