Country music legend Mickey Gilley was seriously injured in a fall in Branson,
Mo. on Sunday and underwent surgery on Tuesday.
The 73-year-old has since been flown to Houston, Texas for further treatment
but is not paralyzed, according to Fox News.
"He is absolutely not paralyzed," his rep said. "He did have a fall and surgery
on his back, there was some bruising, and he was flown to Texas for physical
therapy, but his doctors are satisfied with his recovery. He will then be flown
home in a jet. They just want to make sure it won't tire him out too much."
Gilley's condition does remain serious, however.
"When you have surgery on your back its not a mild thing, it is serious, but
he'll have physical therapy because of stiffness and they expect him to be
fine," added the rep. "His doctors are satisfied with his recovery everyday. He
is 73 so it will take time and therapy to get back to jumping around the stage
which is what he likes to do."
Gilley was scheduled to perform in Branson, but the shows have been canceled
pending his recovery.
