DURANGO, Colo. – Fiddler-guitarist Charlie Daniels is recovering after suffering a mild stroke while snowmobiling in Colorado, his spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Daniels, 73, suffered the stroke Friday and was treated at a hospital in Durango, 230 miles southwest of Denver, spokeswoman Paula Szeigis said. He then was airlifted to a Denver hospital and released on Sunday.
“It was a scary moment there but he’s doing great,” Szeigis said.
Daniels lives in Mount Juliet, Tenn., but has a home in the Durango area where he takes an extended vacation every year around Christmas.
He was snowmobiling with his wife and friends when he suffered the stroke. He’s now back at his Durango-area home, Szeigis said.
