Mel Tillis In Critical Condition [VIDEO]

Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry member Mel Tillis is in critical condition, following colon surgery in a Nashville. The legend underwent the surgery on Wednesday, when complications arose. Social media is ablaze with friends and fans of the 83-year old singer and songwriter asking for prayers for the singer of hits like "Coca-Cola Cowboy" and "Good Woman Blues".

A pair of honors that were a long time in coming, Tillis was inducted into both the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007. His induction into the Opry was double sweet, as he was inducted by his daughter Pam, who had been welcomed as an Opry member in 2000.

Every one here at KLAW101 sends our prayers and well wishes on a speedy recovery.
