\"lynnanderson01\"Lynn Anderson Reveals Scary Reason She Missed George Jones Tribute Show<\/strong>
\nCountry singer Lynn Anderson was absent from last week\u2019s (Nov. 22) star-studded\u00a0George Jones<\/a>\u00a0tribute show, but for reasons that were out of her control. She was involved in a scary car accident while on her way to the event. Anderson\u2019s SUV blew a tire, which is always terrifying and dangerous.
\nThe singer, 66, posted details of her ordeal on Facebook, along with her regrets about missing an event that she was so looking forward to.
\nAnderson, known for her hit \u2018(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden,\u2019 also shared that a Good Samaritan came to her aid and helped her. Sadly, she didn\u2019t even get his name so that she could give him a proper \u201cThank You,\u201d which is another reason she shared the details via social media.
\nThe singer also revealed the recent installation of a pacemaker, making the Good Samaritan\u2019s quick efforts to help her even more critical.
\nWe\u2019re just glad that Anderson is okay, even if she didn\u2019t get to participate in the tribute to The Possum.
\nHer\u00a0full post,<\/a>\u00a0detailing the accident, is below.<\/p>\n

I regret that I was unable to make the George Jones Tribute Concert last Friday. I was so looking forward to singing with my girls and singing the praises of the great \u201cPossum.\u201d Unfortunately, my trusty old SUV blew a front right tire on the way to meet my agent and head for Bridgestone Arena. It left the road, and I ended up in the gravel, giving me a pretty good cut on my head.
\nA good Samaritan saw me leave the road and immediately called an ambulance. Next thing I knew, I was headed to a local hospital and after two days I was released and I\u2019m on the road to recovery. I would like to extend a personal thank you to the gentleman that came to my aid Friday evening. However, I did not even get his name as things were happening so quickly. If you are that person, would you please contact PLA or connect with me on Facebook or Twitter. I would like to thank you in person. I recently had just undergone surgery to install a pacemaker and was a new user of blood thinners. Because of his actions, I will be able to make a swift recovery. I definitely have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season and look forward to the premiere my new Gospel project and hitting the road in 2014. Thank you for my family, fans and friends for sticking with me and being so supportive.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
