Country Icon Jeannie Seely Shares Health Update
Country music legend and Grand Ole Opry member Jeannie Seely has shared an updated on the status of her health following multiple surgeries over the past few weeks.
“Over the past several weeks, I’ve received so many wonderful messages of love and concern about being missed on the Grand Ole Opry and on Sundays with Seely on Willie’s Roadhouse,” Seely explains. “Thank you for those, and I assure you that I miss you just as much! Hopefully I can count on that support as I struggle through this recovery process from multiple back surgeries in March, as well as two emergency abdominal surgeries in April, followed by 11 days in the intensive care unit and a bout with pneumonia. Rehab is pretty tough but each day is looking brighter and last night, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. And it was neon, so I knew it was mine! The unsinkable Seely is working her way back.”
Once fully recovered, Seely plans to continue performing regularly on the Opry stage, recording her weekly show, Sundays with Seely, on SiriusXM’s Willie’s Roadhouse and release new music.
