Country singer Husky in Tennessee hospital
A spokesman for country star Ferlin Husky says the singer has been hospitalized in Tennessee.
Tracy Pitcox, president of Heart of Texas Records, said the 83-year-old was admitted to the critical care unit of Summit Medical Center in Hermitage on Thursday.
Pitcox said he had an accelerated heart rate and possible pneumonia and doctors were treating him for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Husky was country music's top entertainer in the early 1960s with hits like "Wings of a Dove" and "Gone."
