Dear Fans, Friends, Family, and Acquaintances
Merle has undergone the removal of a cancerous growth in his right lung. Merle is recuperating from the surgery and doing better and better each day. I would like to personally thank all of you who took the time to send your love, support, care, concern, and most of all, all of your prayers!
Merle and I both believe strongly in our Lord Jesus Christ and His healing powers. After all He is the greatest physician of all. Believing in our prayers to be answered is the key. Faith!
Sincerely with the upmost gratitude,
Theresa Haggard
Merle Haggard played to a sold-out crowd at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on Wednesday night (June 25) with a compact 75-minute set filled with country classics like "Sing Me Back Home" and "Mama Tried." Not one to linger, the final note of "The Fightin' Side of Me" had barely dissipated when Haggard strolled off stage and the house lights came up.

Country legend MERLE HAGGARD is being honored in his birthplace – Oildale, CA – with a stretch of road soon to be renamed in his honor. Oildale’s Board of Supervisors chose a 3 ½ mile stretch of 7th Standard Road (from Highway 99 to North Chester Ave.) to be newly dubbed Merle Haggard Drive. HAGGARD was born in the town, just north of Bakersfield, in 1937.
