Randy Travis’s admirers were alarmed when Billy Strings tweeted a video of him playing beer pong in a wheelchair. Although the exact cause has not yet been disclosed, it is likely that Travis’s wheelchair is the result of a stroke he suffered in 2013.
Due to a viral upper respiratory infection, Travis was admitted to the hospital in July 2013 with viral cardiomyopathy.
Then, he suffered a stroke and required brain surgery to relieve pressure. But, Travis awoke from surgery a few days later with a heart that was beating without aid.
After being released from the hospital, he went to a physical rehabilitation clinic, but despite therapy, he suffered from aphasia. As a result, he had to use a cane for some time.
By November 2014, he could walk somewhat. Since the stroke, he has remained mostly wheelchair-bound, but he has gained the ability to walk short distances over time.
Mary, Randy’s wife, told Rolling Stone in 2021 about her husband’s stroke and how she was unable to accept that he would be bedridden for the remainder of his life. According to her, Randy’s recovery involved numerous ups and downs.
