Kenny Chesney Cleared by Doctors to Perform

Kenny Chesney was checked out by an orthopedic doctor after he hurt his foot and ankle in a hydraulic lift accident over the weekend (video here) as he made his entrance onstage. Cheney had a large hematoma that extended from his ankle to his foot. The hematoma was so big Chesney’s boot had to be cut off after his performance, which he finished despite the pain. Chesney said:

"Dr. Elrod got that the last thing I want to do is cancel shows, but also that I don’t want any kind of lasting damage, because being able to hit that stage and really rock the fans is important to me. He told me it’s going to hurt, though nothing could hurt worse than Saturday I don’t think, and they can give me something to deaden the pain when I get out there."

Doctors gave Chesney the go ahead to continue his tour. Watch out for those hydraulic lifts.
