After being hospitalized for undisclosed health issues earlier this month, Mark Chesnutt is providing fans with an update. In a post on his Facebook page, Chesnutt said "Many of you who know me well, know that I have been struggling with a battle that I’ve fought to overcome for many years on my own. Now after some extreme health issues I’ve recently experienced the time has come. The fight is over. I’ve made the decision, to take the time to get healthy. I’ll be coming off the road for the next couple of months to concentrate on getting well…..to take care of me, my family, and so that I can get back out on the road." While not disclosing the nature of the medical issues, the singer thanked fans and peers for their unending support, and promised to be well enough to be back on the road in February.
