The amazing Johnny Cash - at a highpoint in his, what?, fifth career with American lV: The Man Comes Around - is suffering from pneumonia:
- Johnny Cash is being treated at a Nashville hospital for pneumonia, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The 71-year-old singer, who was admitted Monday to Baptist Hospital, is in stable condition, said Melissa Cantrell.
"He has a slight case of pneumonia and we expect to release him soon," she said.
Cash's manager, Lou Robin, said the singer is expected to be released sometime early next week.
Cash ... suffers from autonomic neuropathy, a disease of the nervous system that makes him susceptible to pneumonia. Robin said Cash was diagnosed with the disease about 15 months ago. [AP]
