Country music megastar, Randy Travis, was hospitalized on Sunday and is currently in critical condition. The singer suffered complications from a heart infection known as viral cardiomyopathy, leading many to wonder if the star will survive.
Travis appeared fine over the holiday weekend until he was suddenly struck ill on Sunday, according to sources.
Viral cardiomyopathy is a heart muscle disease that could lead to irregular heart beat and sudden cardiac failure. Where some forms of cardiomyopathy can be linked to drug and alcohol abuse, any connection to Mr. Travis's condition would be purely speculation at this point. But, to be fair, he is known for getting drunk and starting fights in church parking lots.
The legendary artist is no stranger to troubles, having been arrested multiple times in 2012 for drunk driving.
After numerous brushes with the law, Randy has been trying to turn his life around. Most recently, he has underwent court-ordered alcohol treatment as part of a two year probationary plea deal to avoid a possible 180 days in jail.
The 54-year-old singer, songwriter and actor has accomplished a great deal during his life. Some career highlights include: Six Grammys, six Country Music Awards, nine ACMs, ten AMAs and seven Dove Awards.
Travis is most known for his hit songs: “Forever and Ever, Amen,” “Deeper Than the Holler,” “Digging Up Bones,” “On the Other Hand,” and “Three Wooden Crosses.”
