Country music legend Charlie Daniels suffered a mild stroke while snowmobiling in Colorado on Friday. The “Devil Went Down to Georgia” singer was treated at Mercy Regional Medical Center in Colorado then airlifted to Swedish Medical Center, also in Colorado.
Daniels was released from the center on Sunday and returned to his Colorado home, where he had been on vacation since December 27th.
There are currently no plans to cancel any tour dates.
“Charlie is doing well and looking forward to beginning The Charlie Daniels Band 2010 concert dates on February 27th in Ft. Pierce, Florida and February 28th in Brooksville, Florida,” his agent said in a statement.
“The Devil Went Down to Georgia” was included in the soundtrack of the 1980 movie “Urban Cowboy,” which starred John Travolta and Debra Winger and in which Daniels also made an appearance.
