Merle Haggard Cancels Concerts Due To Back Problems

09/24/2002

Merle Haggard was forced to cancel 11 scheduled concerts after suffering back problems. The legendary singer has four herniated discs and is resting at his home in California under doctor's orders.

"Merle said he is sorry about this inconvenience, and he hopes everyone understands," Haggard's booking agent Lance Roberts told the Associated Press.

While more shows could be canceled in the near future, the concerts currently affected include previously scheduled September dates in Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga, Tennessee; and Atlanta.
