A legend of country music is still in the hospital and now current stars are appealing to their fans to offer up prayers for Little Jimmy Dickens.
Dickens was admitted to a Nashville-area hospital with an undisclosed illness on Christmas, The Tennessean reported.
An Opry publicist said that he is in critical care.
Dickens, who became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 1948 and elected to the Country Music Hall of fame in 1983 is best known for "Take An Old Cold Tater (And Wait)," ''Country Boy," ''Out Behind The Barn," and "May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose."
Singers like Charlie Daniels and Brad Paisley have gone to their social media accounts to pray for the man some call their hero.
