Tim McGraw is sporting a telling new accessory that speaks to some of the health challenges the country singer has been going through lately.
A post on Tim’s Instagram account shows a picture of the “Humble and Kind” singer sitting with wife Faith Hill at an outdoor table at a cafe in Copenhagen, Denmark. In the picture, Tim’s hands are resting on a cane. The post’s caption reads, “Hangin with my baby in Copenhagen to see @audreymcgraw on tour with the fabulous @brandicarlile“
While Tim McGraw makes no reference to his new walking stick, the singer recently pulled out of a planned July 21 concert as he apparently recuperates from back surgery.
McGraw was set to headline the inaugural Professional Bull Riders (PBR) “Last Cowboy Standing” competition in Fort Collins, Colorado, according to a press release. But a post on PBR’s Instagram account now says country group Cross Canadian Ragweed will perform in his place.
The post reads, “Cross Canadian Ragweed will step in for Tim McGraw as he recovers from back surgery to open the Last Cowboy Standing Show on July 21 in Fort Collins — and we couldn’t be more thrilled.”
The post also states, “We’re sending our very best to Tim for a quick recovery and hope to see him at a future PBR event.”
Surgery Just Latest In a Long Line As Tim McGraw Faces Health Battle
While we don’t know when the back surgery the statement refers to happened, a joint statement from Colorado State University and PBR states it was “recent.”
It is evidently the sixth surgery Tim McGraw has undergone in the past year.
In May, McGraw was a guest on “The Bobby Bones Show,” where he told Bones that he has had five surgeries in the past “6 to 8 months” including three back surgeries and two total knee replacements.
“I’m on the upswing now,” he told the host of his recovery process. “You know, some mornings are good, some morning it takes a little while, but it’s getting there.”
“I’ve done a lot of rehab, a lot of P-T [physical therapy] and now I’m slowly getting back to a routine, very light, but you know, working my way up to it,” said McGraw.
“Can you get back to 100%?” asked Bones. “Hopefully close, hopefully close,” replied the singer. “Hopefully 100%, but we’ll see.”
