Photos Of The Day

Billy Currington just posted this photo on his Twitter account. The caption reads, “The boys and i are very grateful to be home and for life itself. We thank you for your prayers and concern and will see you on the road again soon.”

Currington’s black eye is a result of the Big Valley Jamboree incident that happened over the weekend.

His team released this information today:

Currington was taken to the hospital and suffered a minor concussion but is expected to make a full recovery. He has been released from the hospital and has returned to his home in Nashville. Currington’s bass player Alex Stevens was pinned under the wreckage of the stage for half an hour while rescue personnel removed debris to free him. Stevens underwent immediate surgery to repair a severed artery and nerves in his left arm and is currently receiving treatment in Nashville.

Glad you and your band were not seriously injured at Big Valley this past weekend. Hopefully you will return to Big Valley for another performance. We didn’t get to see all of your show as we headed back to batten down the hatches before the storm hit.
