The 68-year-old country legend spent much of 2012 on the road and has several more dates planned, including a performance in Columbus, Ohio at a Mitt Romney campaign event.

There's no word yet on whether Sheppard will be released from the hospital in time to perform at the event.
The Tennessee native released an album of gospel tunes, Because You Love Me, earlier this year. The 14-song CD can be purchased on his website.
