In 2009, Mickey Gilley was helping a friend move furniture and the unthinkable happened ... the sofa they were moving slipped and Gilley ended up with four vertebrae that were crushed. Paralyzed from the neck down, his chances of ever performing again were slim and none. But the man with 39 Top 10 country songs and 17 #1 hits wasn't giving up. After five years of intensive physical therapy and tons of heart, he is walking, talking and ready to take the stage.
In press release, Gilley talked about his comeback, saying, "I have always loved performing and I know nothing else. Getting back on stage in all of these cities is something to look forward to each and every day. The outpour of love and concern from the fans, my fellow artist friends, and the music community has kept me fighting to walk back on that stage, so I am glad that time is finally here."
