Loretta Lynn postponed her show  in Ashland, Ky., Saturday because she is hospitalized with pneumonia.

An announcement on the Paramount Arts Center's website said the show would be rescheduled at a later, unspecified date.

The country singer and songwriter has been touring in celebration of 50 years in the music business and is scheduled to perform in Durham, N.C., tomorrow night. According to the box office of the Durham Performing Arts Center, that performance had not yet been canceled.

TMZ reported that the country singer and songwriter had knee surgery replacement last month.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
