Grammy-Winning Singer Ray Stevens Has Broken Neck

NASHVILLE (AP) — Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Ray Stevens has broken his neck and is recovering at home. A statement on X confirmed Tuesday that the 87-year-old country star had been briefly hospitalized after falling late last month. The statement says he “is now fully mobile & in good spirits.” Stevens is known for his topical satire. His decades-long recording career has included such hits as the Grammy-winning “Everything Is Beautiful” as well as the zany “The Streak,” which captured the mid-1970s craze for running naked in public. His latest album is expected to be released Friday on Curb Records.
