Country music star Mark Chesnutt is making a remarkable recovery after undergoing emergency quadruple bypass surgery just one month ago. The 60-year-old singer recently announced his next performance scheduled for October 9 in Huntsville, Alabama. This event will be part of the Songs and Stories Of Dean Dillon tribute, which will also feature renowned artists such as George Strait, Vince Gill, Ronnie Dunn, Riley Green, and more. The tribute will be filmed and televised at a later date.
Chesnutt underwent the life-saving surgery on June 18, following a hospitalization two days earlier. This health scare was particularly poignant for Chesnutt, as his father passed away from a heart attack in 1990. The singer had to cancel his upcoming shows due to the surgery, but he has been updating his fans on his recovery progress.
After the surgery, Chesnutt shared on Instagram that he was recovering comfortably at home and expressed his gratitude for the well wishes and prayers from his fans. He later posted a video of himself on stage on July 6, indicating his eagerness to return to performing with his band and fans.
Chesnutt, a two-time CMA Award winner, had previously disclosed his health issues last November and had taken time off to address them. Known for hits like “Brother Jukebox,” “It’s Too Late,” and a cover of Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing,” Chesnutt is a beloved figure in the country music scene with eight No. 1 Billboard Country Airplay songs to his name.
