Randy Travis Recovering After Collapsing Onstage in Texas

Randy Travis is resting comfortably after he reportedly collapsed onstage at a charity event in Fort Worth, Texas Sunday (Sept. 25), the Associated Press reports.

The 52-year-old country legend was halfway through performing his classic hit, 'Three Wooden Crosses,' for the Crystal Heart Gala, an annual benefit for the Huguley Memorial Medical Center, when he began to feel woozy. "My vocal cords are giving out on me," Randy told the audience (quote via AceShowBiz). According to several concert-goers, the singer's legs gave out from underneath, and he fell onto the front of the stage.

"Mr. Travis had been struggling with laryngitis that resulted from chronic allergies and had taken multiple over-the-counter allergy medicines," physicians Jeff Beeson and Steve Davis told E! News after checking the country star's vital signs. "During the performance, Mr. Travis was overcome by a combination of dehydration, over-the-counter allergy medications, and caffeine use."

Randy's cocktail of meds and the Texas heat were what reportedly caused him to lose consciousness. After coming-to, he got up on his own and gave a grin and a thumbs-up to the crowd. Randy's management has since confirmed that he will continue his 25th anniversary tour without yielding. But before he hits the road again on Oct. 1, he'll be putting his feet up for a few days. Get well soon, Randy!

Randy Travis is one of my favorite country singers. I'm glad he was able to get up and that he is recovering.

But I take OTC allergy meds in hot weather with caffeine often, and yes that can lead to dehydration as well as laryngitis. So, I hope he doesn't have some other health condition of which he is unaware. Maybe he's just anemic if he is also taking NSAID drugs.

Anyway, Randy, get some rest and get a physical and take more time off if you need to! I could use another "Forever and Ever Amen", my favorite country song of all time!

Attractive, ambitious & young. There are many college students, aspiring actresses or someone just starting out on Sugarbabymeet.c0m. You could seek a generous Benefactor to pamper, mentor and take care of you — perhaps to help you financially?
