Merle Haggard Returns To Hospital For More Treatment
Merle Haggard says he’s nearly over the case of double pneumonia that has kept him in Georgia hospital for most of the last week. Doctors found the 74-year-old had several other ailments while he was recovering in a Macon, Georgia, hospital. They diagnosed him with three stomach ulcers, eight polyps in his colon and diverticulitis of the esophagus. Haggard checked into a hospital and postponed his January tour dates last Tuesday after contracting pneumonia. He checked himself out Friday and tried to make the ride home to Redding, California, on his tour bus. Haggard quickly realized he wasn’t up to the trip and returned to Macon, his spokeswoman said. Haggard is now undergoing a more aggressive antibiotic treatment for pneumonia. The singer had part of a lung removed a few years ago while fighting cancer. It’s unclear how Haggard’s tour to support his latest album, “Walking in Tennessee,” will be affected. His website shows his next date is February 28th in Tucson, Arizona.
