Merle Haggard Has Surgery


Merle Haggard had a malignant tumor removed from his lung on Monday. In August, he had told the news it wasn't malignant but apparently it was. He is recovering now in Bakersfield, California. His surgery was a success and he is in stable condition. He is 71 years old and became a household name after "Okie from Muskogee" hit No. 1 in l969. He has had 38 No. 1 hits stretching back to 1966. His wife said that she and Merle firmly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and his healing powers and that Jesus is the greatest physician of all and believing their prayers to be answered is the key. I agree.
