He is receiving treatment, including oxygen, high doses of vitamins, and is being fed intravenously. But Coe is not currently intubated, is said to be awake, alert, and talking to doctors according to his wife Kim and a family friend. His condition is said to be improving."

His upcoming concert dates have been canceled according to the Legendary David Allan Coe Facebook page. "In addition to the two shows this weekend, all shows scheduled for August and September have been put on hold as David, Kim, and their family deal with COVID.

Our thoughts and prayers are with David Allan and his family. We can't wait to see you on the road again soon, doing what you do best. Playing the best outlaw country around! Take care and God Bless.
