Porter Wagoner

He's a legend of the Grand Old Opry and one of country music's rhinestone and Rock-A-Billy survivors. But tonight, friends and family are asking for prayers, for Porter Wagoner. His publicist announced today that Wagoner is suffering from lung cancer and he remains hospitalized in Nashville. Doctors describe his condition as serious.

Known for his rhinestone stage outfits, Wagoner helped launch the career of Dolly Parton when he hired her as his duet partner in 1967. Last year he spent two weeks in the hospital after suffering a stomach aneurysm, but he recovered and in May, celebrated 50 years on the Opry. In June, he released a new CD called Wagonmaster. Over the summer he opened a concert for the White Stripes at Madison Square Garden [WVLT]

White Stripes @ MSG (CRED)

Grinderman @ ATP (CRED) (couldn't find one from MSG)

Porter Wagoner @ MSG (CRED)

It was a fun show start to finish with the White Stripes playing an almost two hour headlining set to the 20,000-or-so in attendance at Madison Square Garden last night (July 24, 2007). Porter's set was short, but sweet - he really seemed to be enjoying himself. Grinderman's (first U.S.) set seemed a little long for an opener, but it was high-energy, and it was great to see Nick Cave. White Stripes proved they could pull it off to an enthusiastic arena filled with people of all ages, and from all walks of life - rowdy "bros" included. The stage show was modest - lots of red (obviously), a disco ball, and some strobe lights - the ringmaster Jack White on guitar, and his sister Meg on drums. What else do you need?

Their NYC show before this one was at the much smaller Irving Plaza.
