Country Music Hall of Famer Ray Stevens, 87, suffered a fall in Nashville on Sunday, March 29 that resulted in a broken neck. According to a statement from his team, the two-time GRAMMY winner was briefly hospitalized and is now at home recovering.
Doctors have instructed Stevens to wear a neck brace for the next four weeks. Despite the injury, he remains mobile and in good spirits as he heals.
This health setback comes after Stevens suffered a mild heart attack in early July 2025. At the time, he was hospitalized after experiencing chest pain and later underwent a minimally invasive heart catheterization procedure at a Nashville hospital. He subsequently had a second procedure a few weeks later, during which doctors placed two stents to treat additional blockages. After spending several days in a Nashville rehabilitation facility, he returned home to continue his recovery.
Stevens and his team are welcoming thoughts and prayers during his recovery…
