On Wednesday 7 May 2025, Gene Watson shared a special message from his dear friend, Jeannie Seely, who spoke about her recent health issues.

‘Send a message of support to our dear friend, Jeannie Seely, who has sent this message about her recent health issu
We are so glad she’s finally on the mend, and hope to see her back at the Grand Ole Opry very soon.

Here’s what she said: ‘Hopefully I can count on your support, as I struggle through this recovery process from multiple back surgeries in March, as well as two emergency abdominal surgeries in April, followed by eleven days in the intensive care unit and a bout with pneumonia.
Rehab is pretty tough, but each day is looking brighter and, last night, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel.
And it was neon, so I knew it was mine!
The unsinkable Seely is working her way back’
