Bill Anderson is a legend in the world of country music. Because of this, he remains in high demand and was supposed to perform at the Grand Ole Opry on August 16. Sadly, the “Love You Drops” had to cancel his much-anticipated appearance. Now, he’s explaining why.
The music legend explained on his official website, “Many of you have been reaching out to me and members of my team since the announcement was made that I wouldn’t be keeping my scheduled appearance on the Grand Ole Opry this past Saturday night.”
Anderson continued, “I appreciate your concern, but I’m here to let you know I’m doing fine. It was a freak accident where I simply twisted or tore some ligaments or muscles or something in the back of my left leg trying to climb into bed, and I fell to the floor unable to walk.”
He then said, “I was in excruciating pain and had to cancel a songwriting appointment with T. Graham Brown on Friday, the Opry on Saturday, and an appearance at the State Fair for WSM on Sunday. If you know me, you know how much it bothers me to go back on any commitment I may have made.”
At the end of his statement, Anderson stated that he was on the mend, saying, “Thanks to a bunch of ice packs and pain pills. I’m feeling much better today, and hopefully this will all be behind me shortly. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers and most of all for caring.”
