Country singer Ray Stevens is recovering after breaking his neck in a fall.

According to a statement, 87-year-old Stevens fell on Sunday and fractured his neck. The Grammy-winning artist was treated at a Nashville hospital and is now home recovering. Doctors have recommended he wear a neck brace for the next month.

I just read the update on the actor, and thankfully, even with the injury, they say he’s still able to move around and is keeping a positive attitude while he recovers. That’s really good to hear!

Stevens is still on track to release his new album, “Favorites Old & New,” this Friday. It includes both classic songs – like “It Had to Be You” and “Come Rain or Come Shine” – and some original tracks.
