Country Singer Hardy Pauses Tour After Being Injured In Bus Crash

Michael Wilson Hardy, better known by his country music stage name Hardy, has been forced to postpone a tour after he and three crew members were injured in a bus crash.

According to an Instagram post, they received “significant injuries,” in the crash, which occurred after the band had played two shows in Bristol, Tennessee.

Hardy also wrote that while he and two of the crew have been discharged by the hospital, the driver “needs your prayers as he is still in the hospital,” at least as of yesterday. He also indicated that the weeks-long recovery process “may cost us a couple of shows,” but he didn’t say which ones specifically were postponed yet.

The singer also thanked the emergency workers who responded to his situation “for their quick response and incredible service.”

Hardy released his third album, Hixtape Vol. 2 last December. Some of his highest-charting singles are “Rednecker” and “One Beer.” He has also worked as a songwriter for big country musicians including Blake Shelton, Chris Lane and Dallas Smith.
