WHEN MERLE HAGGARD WAS ASKED...... Body: Q: Why did you decide to tour after you had your lung operation?
HAGGARD= “Well, the lung operation left me in better health than I was before.
“It was a matter of recuperating over the injury of the surgery. I feel a lot better than I did probably five years prior to surgery.
“I didn’t know I had the problem, you know, so I don’t have a cough and my lungs they just, in your lung capacity you have three lobes on right side and two on the left, on the top lobe on my right side had a suspended tumor hanging from it. Like a fruit from a tree and it wasn’t attached to anything.
“They went in and found that they were able to get it and there was no chemo or radiation, or anything like that, your lung expands and fills in where it’s taken out, so I’m almost back to full capacity of air, which I haven’t had for a few years.
“I’m singing better than I was before the surgery,
