SUCCESSFUL PACEMAKER IMPLANT SURGERY
Mt.
Juliet, TN (March 28, 2013) – Grand Ole Opry star Charlie Daniels is
recovering after having a pacemaker implanted today (3-28), at a
Nashville area hospital.
During a doctor visit on Monday (3-25), Charlie was diagnosed with a
mild case of pneumonia and admitted to the hospital for a series of
routine tests. The tests revealed that a pacemaker was needed to
regulate his heart rate.
He plans to be released from the hospital on Friday (3-29). The
family asks for your thoughts and prayers for Charlie as he recovers.
He will spend the next two weeks at his home.
Charlie recently celebrated 5 years as a member of the Grand Ole Opry, where he is a regular performer.
“I just had not been feeling well and wanted to get checked out,”
says Daniels. “I am thankful the doctors found the problem and were
able to implant a pacemaker to get my heart rate regulated. I am
feeling so much better and looking forward to spending Easter with my
family.”
Charlie’s performance at MTSU’s Murphy Center in Murfreesboro, TN,
as part of the World Outreach Church Easter service, has been
cancelled.
Two CDB concert dates, Englewood, NJ (4-5), and Newark, OH (4-6)
