In case you missed the Merle Haggard news over the weekend, the country legend is battling lung cancer and has had surgery to remove cancerous tissue from his lungs. I learned about this after noting that the Emerald Queen Casino had pulled the plug on Haggard's Dec. 13 show.
"He called a couple of weeks ago and said he had to go to the hospital," EQ booking agent Bill Bollie told me. But Bollie says Haggard wants to make the date up, health permitting.
Lung cancer is nasty stuff, and it's what got my dad a few years ago. So let's wish the guy good luck and a speedy recovery.
