Ailing Loretta Lynn cancels Ohio appearance
76-year-old country music legend was hospitalized for serious dehydration


BELMONT, Ohio — An ailing Loretta Lynn has canceled a weekend appearance at an Ohio music festival.

The website for the Jamboree in the Hills says the 76-year-old country music legend won't be taking the stage on Sunday because she was recently hospitalized for serious dehydration. A statement posted Wednesday says the singer was treated following a period of extreme heat in Tennessee, where she lives.



Loretta is my ALL TIME favorite female singer. I LOVE her. Praying for a speedy recovery.
I can't believe she is already 76 years old. Time flies.
I grew up listening to her on 8 tracks. Still listen to her on my iPod.

Get well soon Loretta!
 
Feel better, Loretta. True talent just doesn't come around that often. Stay with us, and stay strong.

From Loretta's official fan page....

The recent scorching temperatures has forced Country Music legend Loretta Lynn to cancel the upcoming performances at MGM Theatre- Foxwoods Resort Casino and Jamboree in the Hills, of her 2011 tour. Ms. Lynn was recently hospitalized and treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration after the temperature index soared to over 100 degrees in parts of Tennessee. Shows will be rescheduled where possible, and Ms. Lynn regrets having to disappoint fans who had hoped to see her in concert. Ms. Lynn said. “I’m sad to have to cancel any shows – I’ve been looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend.” Be sure to check LorettaLynn.com for changes.
 
I was at a concert in 1996 at Loretta's ranch in Hurricaine Mills, TN when her husband, Doolittle, was very ill. She sang "How Great Thou Art" a capella and dedicated it to Doo. There was not a dry eye in the place.

I thought of it when I heard she was sick.

I looked this up. Love it.

Loretta was my idol when I was a little girl. For many reasons but the main reason is she and I hail from the same homestate and similar economic circumstances. I have always adored her.

Get well quick Loretta!
 
Beautiful person, beautiful voice. My prayers are with you darling Loretta!
 
Looks like Loretta is still cancelling tour dates. Knee surgery.

Though she recently returned to the concert stage with a performance at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Loretta Lynn has now been forced to cancel tour dates through the September 1st. As of right now her Ranch date is still slated for September 3rd. The iconic entertainer will undergo knee reconstruction surgery and her physician has ordered her to allow time for a full recovery. “I’m sad to have to cancel any shows for my fans, but they tell me I’ve just got to stay off this knee for a while,” Lynn says.
