It's Avian Day at the airport and several feathered friends have already boarded the plane: cardinals, bald eagles, hummingbirds, falcons.  But as a penguin and ostrich reach the front of the line a security guard steps ahead of them.  "I'm sorry to tell you," he says, "but both of you are on the No-Fly list."

Billy Currington along with his bassist suffered injuries over the weekend after heavy winds caused the stage he had just finished performing on, to collapse. Here is the Big Valley Jamboree statement Billy released and below a video of the stage collapse.

 

"Due to severe storms and tornadic weather activity on Saturday night, the stage at the Big Valley Jamboree music festival in Camrose, Alberta, Canada’s largest country music festival, collapsed where singer Billy Currington was performing. Currington was on the last song of his set when the wind blew the staging down on top of him and his band.

Currington was taken to the hospital and suffered a minor concussion but is expected to make a full recovery. He has been released from the hospital and has returned to his home in Nashville. Currington’s bass player Alex Stevens was pinned under the wreckage of the stage for half an hour while rescue personnel removed debris to free him. Stevens underwent immediate surgery to repair a severed artery and nerves in his left arm and is currently receiving treatment in Nashville. Currington sent a message to his fans today via Twitter, "The boys and I are very grateful to be home and for life itself. We thank you for your prayers and concern and will see you on the road again soon." Currington also comments from his home in Nashville, "My heart goes out to the family of Donna Moore who was killed and all of the other fans who were hurt on Saturday."

 

Along with a picture of his injury, Billy posted this picture on his twitter page with the caption below.

 

"The boys and i are very grateful to be home and for life itself. We thank you for your prayers and concern and will see you on the road again soon"

This week Billy Currington’s current single, “People Are Crazy”, is spending its second week at the top of the Country music charts. Such success had caught the attention of David Letterman who's invited him to perform on his show.  Set your DVR's for August the 19th! Follow his direct updates on his Twitter page.
