Country Singer Bruce Robison Needs Our Prayers After Being Hospitalized With Deadly Disease!

Country singer and songwriter Bruce Robison has been hospitalized for typhus.

Robison made his mark on country music history by penning mega hit like the Dixie Chicks‘ “Travelin’ Soldier,” George Strait’s “Wrapped,” and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s “Angry All The Time.”

Robison’s wife and fellow singer/songwriter Kelly Willis initially shared an update on Robison’s health about two weeks ago.

Bruce’s management then announced on May 23rd that Robison had pneumonia.

However, the bad news did not stop there.

Bruce’s sister Robyn Ludwick reported he had Typhus and had been in the hospital for at least five days.

And just two days ago Bruce’s management announced they were cancelling his shows in San Antonio and Bertram.

However, they did hint at some good news when they noted, “Bruce is resting up and we are working diligently to reschedule the shows as soon as possible.”

Robison’s diagnosis of typhus could be a number of different infectious diseases including epidemic typhus, scrub typhus, or murine typhus. Common symptoms of the disease include fever, headache, and a rash.

Currently, there is not a commercial vaccine. However, the disease can be treated by antibiotic doxycycline.

Epidemic typhus usually occurs in outbreaks in areas with poor sanitary conditions and crowding are present.

Scrub typhus typically is not seen at all in North America usually occurring in Southeast Asia, Japan, and northern Australia. While Murine typhus usually occurs in tropical and subtropical parts of the world.

Robison needs all the prayers he can get to ensure he has a speedy and healthy recovery!
