Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are in Denmark supporting their daughter, Audrey, as she tours with Brandi Carlile. The couple shared a photo from their travels on Instagram, and the sweet snap sparked concern among country music fans.
In the picture, Tim and Faith are seen sitting outdoors at a restaurant. Faith is wearing sunglasses as she leans on her husband of 28 years and smiles. Tim wears a yellow sweater and baseball hat as he props himself up on a cane.
Fans noticed the cane and grew concerned, leaving messages like, "Beautiful photo. Why do you have a cane? Are you ok?" and "Need the full story on the cane my man… tell Audrey to break a leg!"
Country music fans who have been following Tim's career know that he is recovering from back and knee injuries. Last month, he returned to performing after taking a year off, but he was once again forced to cancel shows.
In May, Tim told Bobby Bones, "I had had a back surgery before tour last year, and that sort of went south on me at the beginning of the tour, and sort of compensating for that my knees went out like three weeks into the tour."
He continued, "So I had to finish the tour with my knees completely gone and my back gone, and as soon as I got off tour I went in and had the surgeries done. I had my knee surgeries done, and in the process of recovering from my knee surgeries, my back went out again and I had to have another back surgery."
After performing at the Nashville rodeo on May 31, he cancelled his July 21 show at the Colorado State and Professional Bull Riders 'Last Cowboy Standing' event. According to his website, his next scheduled concert is on August 2 at the Bristol Motor Speedway.
We hope Tim is feeling better soon! In the meantime, we'll enjoy seeing him and Faith being proud parents on Audrey's tour.
