Ray Stevens is recovering from heart surgery after he suffered what is being described as a "mild heart attack".
The country singer has shared his first update since being admitted to hospital for surgery.
According to his Instagram, Stevens has been moved out of intensive care and is continuing to recover.
"Ray is out of ICU and beginning to walk the halls as therapy with a nurse's assistance as he is working towards recovering from this surgery," the post reads.
"Ray is very grateful for all of the cards and get-well messages. Everything is Still Beautiful!"
Taste of Country reported the country music legend was admitted to a Nashville hospital after he began experiencing chest pain late last week.
He underwent a heart catheterisation procedure, and a statement from his publicity team confirmed he'd had a heart attack.
As a result, he has cancelled all scheduled performances in July.
Stevens, who is 86, won a Grammy Award for Everything Is Beautiful in 1971. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2019.
In May, Stevens announced new live dates in 2025 to perform songs from his latest album, Say Whut?.
"It will be an all-new show with new songs and new stories," the legendary singer said at the time. "But don't worry, I'll still be bringing along other favourites."
