George Jones Released From Hospital

George Jones is back at his home resting, according to a statement from his publicist. He was hospitalized last week following an upper respiratory infection, but was released on Tuesday (4/3).

“Thanks to all my fans and friends for their prayers and support during this time,” said Jones in the statement.

Jones plans to rest at home until he returns to the stage for a show April 20 in Minnesota. He was also recently nominated  (along with Charlie Daniels) for an ACM Award for Vocal Event of the Year, for his participation in Aaron Lewis’ “Country Boy.”
