NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Country music star George Jones has been released from the hospital.

In a news release from Jones' publicist on Saturday, Jones says he is improving, and "I look forward to seeing everyone soon."

Jones, regarded as the greatest voice in country music history, was hospitalized for the second time this year on Monday in Nashville, Tenn., with an upper respiratory infection. The 80-year-old spent a week in the hospital in March as well.

The "White Lightning" singer has canceled his live performances through the month of June and will reschedule shows where possible.

Jones says in the news release he's got a new team of doctors treating him, "and it seems to be working."

It's been 60 years since you became my favorite of all times singer of sad songs. 60 years ago at Forrester's Hall in Mt. View, (across the highway from Moffett Field). you won the "talent contest" put together by Cottonseed Clark. I'm glad we are both still going and i would dearly love to see you again. Please come back to California soon. Thank you for the memories. Joan

I love George Jones. He's been my quiet suitor since I was 9. I love the fact that his, " He Stopped Loving Her Today", was not lost on a child or adult. I saw him at Myrtle Beach and his voice was as beautiful as a cd yet it was real. Rarely have I met a singer without the need of lipsynching. Would love a ride in honor of my Irish and Indian ancestors on a lawnmower to a local bar. Don't ever lessen yourself thinking it was a mere song. It was definitive and an amore of many. Thank you, you Hot Mess, and I'm beyond thankful my family who knew a masterpiece when they heard it! How lucky am I?!
