Sam Bush out for a few weeks - surgery

Updates from his wife Lynn.  This was Tuesday, I think. (I'm not on FB. It was reposted so not sure of the timing.)

The most recent Grad of WKU!
We want to thank all of you for your love and concern for Sam. Sunday, Sam was taken to the ER (thank you Stephen Mougin) with excruciating pain in his abdomen; it came on suddenly and only got worse as the day went on. He was admitted Sunday night after many tests and pain management. He is undergoing more testing due to some gastrointestinal infections and issues. Sadly he had to cancel his gig with STLCC-Meramec = Everyone there has been so generous and understanding and we will make it up for all of you ASAP. Sam is being well taken care of and where he needs to be for the next few days, just layin’ low and healing.

Thanks again Music Lovers, family and friends, rest easy = Sam will be up and ready to pick, next level, in no time.
Lynn (& Sam)

This was reposted last night.

The surgery Tuesday did not go as well as we had hoped leaving Sam in the hospital a few more days for a full recovery from a bowel resection. They have fixed him up and now his body must rest, recover and “wake up".
Sadly, under Dr’s orders, Sam reluctantly understands that, due to the nature of the surgeries, he must cancel the next 3 weeks of performances. This was not an easy decision, but a necessary one!
Please music lovers, continue to support these fine festivals, all the incredible talent and enjoy Rooster Walk, DelFest, John Hartford Memorial Festival, Kerrville Folk Festival as well as Béla Fleck: Friends & Family
We’ll be missing y’all and hope to see you on the road, Happy & Healthy, just as soon as possible.
Thank you all for your concern, love and understanding, “…and the deafening sound of all this LOVE falling down on me”
We Love our Tribe,
L&S & the Sam Band family
