Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Ray Stevens broke his neck and is recovering at home after being briefly hospitalized, according to a statement published Tuesday.
The 87-year-old country star known for his topical satire fell late last month, according to the statement released on the social platform X. Doctors have told him to wear a neck brace for about a month.
“He remains fully mobile & in good spirits," the statement said.
Stevens' decades-long recording career has included such hits as the Grammy-winning “Everything Is Beautiful" as well as the zany “The Streak," which captured the mid-1970s craze for running naked in public.
His latest album is expected to be released Friday on Curb Records.
In July, Stevens suffered a mild heart attack and had heart surgery, according to a post on his X account. His performances at his CabaRay Showroom in Nashville, Tennessee, were canceled for the rest of the month as he recovered.
