John Michael Montgomery Out of Rehab

John Michael Montgomery is back on the road after completing a month-long stay in a Nashville rehab facility. The country singer sought treatment for anxiety attacks and a sleep disorder. Montgomery blames his health issues on years of "roadin' and drinkin'" and on several injuries.

"I guess the last five years, having hip surgeries, leg surgeries, and a lot of the stress of touring, it just all added up," Mongomery told the Flint Journal. "I just felt lost. My brain wanted to go, but my body said no. It's like you wake up one day, and life slaps you in the face and says, 'You need to figure out where you're going here.' [Rehab] was a good break for me, a time to regroup."

Montgomery plans to release 'Time Flies' -- his first album on his own label -- on September 9.

JMM! I don't know what type of difficulties you have faced to bring you to this point (though I'm glad to see you are working through them), I just wanted to quickly say I think you have an awesome voice and that I respect you. Why do I respect you. I saw on some TV show where when the record producers approached you to sign you and you told them you could just as easily continue playing the clubs and stay around your home area and just as content and that you wouldn't change one bit to be a "star". They either had to respect this or go away. You didn't let the possibility of money and fame keep you from being you. Simply put, that deserves alot of respect. Good luck and looking forward to purchasing your new album as I am a huge country fan. Keep it real dude!
