NASHVILLE, Tenn. –  A publicist for country music legend Loretta Lynn says she has been hospitalized after having a stroke.

Maria Malta confirmed Friday that the 85-year-old singer and songwriter was admitted into a Nashville hospital on Thursday night after suffering the stroke at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee.

Lynn's website says she is responsive and expected to make a full recovery.

It says Lynn has been advised by doctors to stay off the road while she recuperates, and upcoming scheduled shows will be postponed.

I got tickets to see her in the fall as a surprise for my wife, be bummed if I miss my chance to finally see her but whatever it takes to see her get better.

At 85 and following a stroke?   Damn, sounds like sage advice.   Sorry you missed out on the show and hope she makes a speedy recovery, but even if she doesn't tour again, she has certainly paid her dues.

I think prayers are warranted here.
