Four-time Grammy award winner and beloved Nashville fixture, Loretta Lynn, suffered a stoke this past May and has triumphantly made her return to the stage!
After her medical emergency, the 85-year-old decided it was best to put a halt on her remaining 2017 tour dates along with pushing back the release of her upcoming album, Wouldn’t It be Great. Just months later, this legendary singer-songwriter proved to her fans that she is still able to perform. Lynn recently made an appearance at the Tennessee Motorcycle and Music Revival, which took place at her Tennessee ranch from Sept. 28 – Oct. 1. On the last day of the event she sat on stage surrounded by her family and sang for the first time publicly since her hospitalization.
Fans witnessed Lynn perform portions of two of her biggest hits, “Coal Miner’s Daughter “and “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man).” Watch below!
During the four-day festival, fans could take rides through her Tennessee ranch while enjoying live music, food trucks, and camping. What a memorable weekend for the legend to get back into the swing of things!
