Following a knee injury, Crystal Gayle has cancelled an upcoming appearance in Ireland.
Scheduled to perform this week at the Your Roots Are Showing conference in Belfast, doctors advised the 75-year-old country music legend against traveling after suffering a torn meniscus in her knee.
In a formal press release, the multi-Grammy award winner said:
“I was truly looking forward to coming to Belfast, singing a few songs, sharing some stories, and spending time with everyone.” “But my doctor tells me this knee isn’t ready for those overseas miles just yet. I promise I’ll be Ready for the Times to Get Better.” “Just not at 30,000 feet next week. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope we can make it up to you soon.”
Securing a string of 1970s and 1980s hits – including ‘I’ll Get Over You,’ ‘Why Have You Left the One You Left Me For’ and ‘Straight to the Heart,’ – the country superstar has remained active in performing and recording in the decades since her chart successes.
Scheduled for a spring release, the Kentucky native recorded a new version of the Burt Bacharach hit ‘What the World Needs Now Is Love,’ for the upcoming album Melodic Genius – the Songs of Burt Bacharach.
