Country music legend opens up after multiple surgeries: ‘I thought this might be it’


 

Tim McGraw has been through the ringer when it comes to his health across the past year, and the country music icon is opening up about it as he attempts to make his way back to full speed.

The 58-year-old star recently appeared on the “Tracy Lawrence’s Road House” podcast where he opened up about all that he has been through after having to take time off last year.

“To have almost a year of just sitting there (doing nothing), and I can tell you that after double knee replacements and three back surgeries and now a torn rotator cuff and a ruptured disc, there were times this year that I thought this might be it,” he said. “This might be time to hang it up.”

With that many injuries, McGraw said he has had to change things up in the gym and in life to be able to recover.

“I have to be very careful about what I do,” he said. “What I do do is everything is intentional. I can’t move quickly, there’s no turning real quick to do something. Everything has to be very intentional; everything that I do has to be very methodical. I have to do cold plunges. I have to do infrared saunas. I have to do massages.”

McGraw said it has also changed the way he does his show.

“It’s gonna come to a point to where I’m either gonna have to decide to change the way I do a live show to continue to do it or just not do it anymore,” he said.

McGraw already had issues with his feet, telling Entertainment Tonight Canada in 2023 that he “can’t run anymore because I’ve broken my foot so many times.”
