Country Legend George Jones Hospitalized

Country music legend George Jones is in a Nashville area hospital with an upper respiratory infection.

Mr. Jones has many number one hits including ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’.

George just turned 80 recently and the AP reports that he will remain in the hospital overnight for observations.

This is most likely for precautionary measures, meaning the prognosis must be pretty good.

He has tour dates scheduled in April through most of 2012. Like George always says, "I don't need your rockin' chair", it ain't gonna keep him down.

KWKH is hoping you feel better soon Possum!
