Country music legend, 87, breaks neck and is rushed to hospital ahead of new album launch

The fall could easily have been a tragic final chapter: an 87-year-old icon, already recovering from a heart attack and two stent procedures, suddenly on the floor with a broken neck. Yet doctors found no paralysis, no catastrophic damage—just strict orders for a brace, rest, and time. Stevens, ever the showman, returned home determined to heal, his team insisting he remains mobile and upbeat.

Instead of canceling his moment, he chose to walk through it. Favorites Old & New, his 13-track collection of classics and fresh songs, will still arrive on Friday, turning a health scare into an unlikely backdrop for one more act. For fans who grew up on Everything Is Beautiful and his offbeat novelty hits, the album now feels less like a release and more like a defiant message: he’s bruised, but not finished yet.
