The legendary Merle Haggard has canceled his April concert dates as he recovers from a recurring bout of double pneumonia.
In a statement released, he said, “I want to thank my fans for their prayers and well wishes. I hope to be back on the road in May, but I’m taking it one day at a time.”
The 78-year-old singer of hits like “Okie From Muskogee,” ”Mama Tried” and “Workin’ Man Blues” had also cancelled dates in February and March. He had a battle with lung cancer in 2008, but has continued with an ambitious touring schedule since.
