Guy Clark Collapses And Misses ACL Hall Of Fame Induction

Nashville Country Folk singer Guy Clark has missed his induction into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame after collapsing shortly after arriving in Austin for the event.

The 73-year old singer songwriter spent the night in an Austin hospital instead of on an Austin stage.

Lyle Lovett stepped in to play some of Clark’s songs and accepted the award on Guy’s behalf noting “he is my friend, he is my hero”.

A note at Guy Clark’s Facebook page from his publicist Tamara Saviano reads:

“I’m sorry this update didn’t come sooner but this is as quick as I could get to it. Many of you have seen the news stories about Guy collapsing at the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame event last night. The trip from Nashville was rough on him and he did indeed get sick and have to be taken by ambulance to the hospital. His Austin doctor was on top of things and they did a battery of tests and kept him overnight. The last I heard he was doing much better and they were releasing him from the hospital. His vitals are good and the MRI showed no stroke or any such event. I have not seen him since he collapsed as I had to fly to Phoenix this morning to visit my mother. Guy’s sisters are with him in Austin, as is his caretaker Joy along with his long time doctor so I know he is in good hands.

“It’s a shame that Guy missed the tribute to him. It was lovely. Lyle Lovett sang “Step Inside This House” and “Anyhow I Love You” and presented the award (and, as it turns out, also accepted on Guy’s behalf). Jason Isbell sang “Desperados Waiting For A Train” and “Black Diamond Strings.” I’m sure Guy is disappointed to have missed it”.
