Texas artist recovers from medical procedure, country legend isn’t ready to “Go Rest High On That Mountain” | Music City Minute

Cody Johnson has scrapped the rest of his 2025 tour dates due to health complications. Johnson posted a message to fans explaining that a lingering upper respiratory and sinus infection has led to a perforated (or burst) eardrum. Unfortunately, the perforation is so severe that it does require surgical intervention. The “Till You Can’t” singer could have let the wound heal on its own, but that could take many months, whereas recovery from surgery will be several weeks.
Vince Gill’s contributions to country music are not only iconic, but legendary. The singer, songwriter and musician revealed that he is feeling more creative than ever, after his decision to sign a “lifetime” record deal with MCA, which promises new music well into the future. Starting this month, the “Look At Us” singer will be sharing a collection of newly recorded songs, once a month for a full year! The Country Music Hall of Famer’s first compilation of songs called “50 Years From Home: I Gave You Everything I Had,” is set to be released on October 17.
