Country Icon Derailed By Severe Injury<\/h3>\n

Performing is one of the most exciting parts of being a musician<\/a>, especially as a singer. Moreover, if this has been your livelihood for decades, not being able to tour can be earth-shattering. If it is a choice, that can make things easier, yet if the option is taken away, it\u2019s a bitter pill to swallow. Recently, a country music icon<\/a> suffered a painful injury that has derailed their career indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Crystal Gayle has been performing for decades and is also known as the late<\/a> Loretta Lynn\u2019s sister. She not only has an immaculate voice but also has an extremely unique look. Fans know her for her floor-grazing, silky straight hair that was always her staple. Yet, Crystal is also a Grammy award winner, so that speaks for her talent<\/a> and her hit single \u201cDon\u2019t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue.\u201d Unfortunately, she shared that she recently tore her meniscus, and it had shattered her completely:<\/p>\n

I can go and sit and sing, but it does put you in a different place mentally \u2013 it is harder to get around.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, not only is she suffering physically, but also emotionally and mentally<\/a>. This incident caused the country star to have to cancel an appearance. She was supposed to be in Belfast, Northern Ireland, but that did not happen:<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never had anything like this \u2013 mentally, you\u2019re going through a \u2018why me?\u2019 [phase]. These things happen and you don\u2019t want it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Crystal Gayle was also cautioned by her doctors not to fly due to possible blood clots forming.
