At the CMA Awards [in November] it was all he could do to get out there and get through it. It was hard for him to even hold his arm up to play the guitar."
Rich then added, "The doctors are telling him that for all intents and purposes, he doesn't need to tour next year. They're going to put him through some real aggressive rehab for his neck." He also stated that with the off the road schedule, they will have time to "do a lot of stuff on the creative side."
Meanwhile, their first-ever Canadian tour, which will feature Canadians Terri Clark and Emerson Drive, will kick-off on January 9, 2008 at the CN Centre in Prince George, British Columbia, and will wrap on January 21 at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
