Loretta Lynn postpones DPAC performance … again

Country music legend Loretta Lynn has again been forced to postpone her performance at the Durham Performing Arts Center.

Lynn, who underwent a total-knee replacement in the Fall, said she needed a few more weeks of physical therapy before the start of her 2012 tour. What that means for fans in North Carolina is they’ll have to wait until April — hopefully! — to catch the famed “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

Once set to play DPAC Jan. 8, the 76-year-old will now perform on April 7. Lynn was originally scheduled to perform in Durham in October, however she fell ill and was forced to postpone that performance.

Tickets to the original show date will be honored for her rescheduled performance at DPAC.

In October, Lynn was admitted to a Kentucky hospital after awakening on her tour bus complaining of difficulty breathing.

Doctors said Lynn was suffering from the beginning stages of Bacterial Pneumonia, which forced her to cancel her shows in Ashland, Ky. and Durham.

In August, Lynn underwent knee replacement surgery, forcing her to cancel several performances in September. Before that, she returned to live performances with a show at the Grand Ole Opry after being forced to cancel shows in Ohio and Connecticut because she was hospitalized for heat exhaustion.
