Fans of country music star Crystal Gayle who were hoping to see her in Ireland got bad news this week because the singer won’t be making the trip.
Gayle, 75, was slated to perform at the Your Roots are Showing conference in Belfast on Jan. 13, but she said that a torn meniscus in her knee will prevent her from traveling to the show.
“I was truly looking forward to coming to Belfast — singing a few songs, sharing some stories, and spending some time with everyone,” Gayle said in a press release per Taste of Country.
“But my doctor tells me this knee isn’t ready for those overseas miles just yet,” she continued. “I promise I’ll be ‘Ready for the Times to Get Better’ — just not at 30,000 feet next week. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope we can make it up to you soon.”
Gayle, who is the sister of another country music legend, Loretta Lynn, was one of country music’s most successful singers through the 1970s and 1980s, per Taste of Country.
She is best known for her hits “I’ll Get Over Your,” “Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue,” “Why Have You Left The One You Left Me For,” and her last big hit, “Straight to the Heart,” which it No. 1 on the charts in 1986.
Folks in the United Sates hoping to see her soon are in luck, provided the knee heals up, because she is slated to play a string of shows at Don Laughlin’s Riverside Resort and Casino in Nevada starting on Feb. 12.
