Country legend Loretta Lynn, 76, has been released from a Kentucky hospital, where she was treated for bacterial pneumonia.

Lynn was initially rushed to treatment in the early hours of the weekend, and has subsequently canceled several show dates. According to a statement on her official website, “Around 1:30 AM Saturday morning, Loretta awoke on her tour bus complaining that she was having a hard time breathing. They admitted her into a Bowling Green, Kentucky hospital where she was treated over the weekend for the beginning stages of bacterial pneumonia.”

The site confirms that the star is now back at her home in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee recovering; says Lynn, “It was one scary night… But I am feeling better and just gonna take it easy for a couple of weeks.”

Her rep confirms that she intends to make her next scheduled performance on Nov. 3 in Knoxville, Tenn.

She says she’s feeling better and will return to the road Nov. 3 in Knoxville, Tennessee.
